When testing, I noticed that Ubuntu was smart enough to autoconfigure  
sound for me and also enable the built-in speaker on my Intellistation  
E Pro.   This makes it play happy music upon login and logout.    
Admittedly, the Intellistation E Pro is not a cluster config anymore,  
however we may want to do something about that, or at least document  
it, otherwise it could get very annoying in clusters or offices.  I  
think, though I could be wrong, that the HPs also have a built-in  
speaker connected to the sound card.
