Sounds like you are wrong about lessdisks: Lessdisks is a framework for distributed diskless systems. As such, it _can_ be configured to run all apps locally, or it can execute X11 apps remotely (insecurely as LTSP3 or SSH-encrypted), or run VNC, or run NX, or... The default setup (and also the most tested AFAIK) is running all X11 apps remotely, similar to LTSP3 but SSH-encrypted. If LTSP can be setup exactly like you need it then that is the easiest to use. But I believe it is easier to customize lessdisks than LTSP, because everything is Debian (the client filesystem is simply a chroot on the server). - Jonas Debian maintainer of lessdisks - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ - Enden er n�r: http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFBhjfJn7DbMsAkQLgRAk7RAJ9ThoJM8/c74Gq5vyDCXBIw+6mdEgCdHb+B y9Hu04vDHx6dM0K2fPu1Lp0= =lPyE -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
