homogenous Xterminals makes it easier, but different systems really isn't that
much harder. you need to know:
o the video card
o the network card (and its MAC)
o the sound card (if any)
o what your monitor is capable of
LTSP comes with reasonable defaults and you can override them as needed on a
per-machine basis. once i got the hang of it, adding a new machine was a 5
minute job (if that...) ... well, except for the sound part (we had crappy
sound cards =)
edit the dhcpd.conf file, edit the ltsp.conf file, edit the nsf exports file
if necessary, voila voici, done.
LTSP is actually designed to make heterogenous xterms easier to deal with
(e.g. no per-system x config files) ... the next version is going to make it
even easier with some console helper programs.
