And do you really think that people uses command line apps on their TX ? I don't think so, most people just want to work remotly on a exported display, AND be able to use locals cdrom/floppy drives.
And LTSP does not do any chroot, why not doing it in drakTermServ ?

Hi,
Why is DraTermServ exporting the root dir of the server ?
So that you can run every single binary installed on the server on any of the clients, so you can use it for thick-clients also, without having to have multiple copies of everything as you do when using something like LTSP.
couldn't it be a /var/drakTermServRoot or something like that, as it is done with ltsp ? That would be even greater if that was a chrooted service... I don't really like the idea to export everything, and that does not seem really useful.
Well, there is already LTSP, which works fine on Mandrake also. So, you have a choice. Use LTSP if you have really thin clients (Pentium or slower), or Mandrake's terminal-server if you have thicker (ie Pentium MMX or better) clients.
