For VDPAU (Lucid) you need some extra sources for fat client. Both DRBL
and LTSP needs this.

Thanks Asmo,
I'm not running ltsp-fat lients or local apps. We will be trying this out,
too, very soon now.
Thanks for the links you sent out about setting up fat clients and ltsp. We
can't afford gig switches in our school. Do you know how well fat clients
will work with 100 megabit
fat-clients should work better with less network connectivity, once
they've downloaded the image. They don't need to send video back and
forth over the network constantly. (At least, I think that's right...)

DRBL does something similar, you guys may be able to collaborate

Hi Asmo,
DRBL uses fat client. LTSP is capable both thin and fat. Which one you

Oh... it's not really that difficult - but it is a bit hacky.
We have a central 389DS that authenticates all users (LDAP) and a central
