Not yet.  Next step is the implementation of GOsa (draft ready here in
my local repo).  Then packaging a debian package, for wheezy-backports.

Roaming workstation sounds interesting.  Currently you can boot a
debian-lan live system vi PXE if you are in the network with a
foreign machine.  This desktop is identical to the hard disk
installations in the network, home mounted etc.  Of cource you cannot
easily access the local data on the machine's hard disk.

As I am more or less the only dev in Debian-LAN right now, I keep new
innovations to a level where I use them myself, as this is the only
way I can ensure testing and not having rotten stuff around.

But in general, if there is interest and at least feedback/testing and
perhaps even some help available, it should not be a problem to add
some kind of roaming profile.  I add it to the Future-Feature-List in
my head .. ;-)

Best regards,

     Andi
