Hi Oliver, well, my explanation was pretty bad I guess, but this is the way drbl works, from what I understand of it. At least during setup, I see it setting up nodes, based on ip, for every client. Now... it may be its not the entire chroot, but just parts of it... In any case, it uploads these files to the client's swap space or ram so the client takes the burden and not the server.
Anyway I would love to know a better way to make workstation thin clients using LTSP instead... any ideas?
