I don't think so. We ran a few diskless ELC:s off a Linux box for quite 
som time. After a few troubels with the initial setup it ran without 
truoble. 

We do have one problem, sometimes when a user quits X on the diskless 
machines and still has a lot of open programs the kernel panics, always 
in the function nfs_read. It seems to only be a problem on diskless 
ELC:s, our SS1 seem to be immune. Perhaps this is the same problem. What 
machines are affected for you?
