This is possible in Debian-edu/Skolelinux. They call it "diskless workstations" and I've been using it for over a year with great success. It really eases the load on the LTSP server by shifting a lot of processing to the client. Your client needs to be a lot beefier than a thin one - at least a 1GHz with 256, I would say. These clients even stay up through a reboot of the server. They freeze while it reboots, then pick up where they left off. Local devices work great (sound in flash, etc.) nigel > > On 10/30/07, *Oliver Grawert* < [EMAIL PROTECTED] > <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> wrote: > > hi, > Am Dienstag, den 30.10.2007, 14:23 +0100 schrieb David Van Assche: > > Hi Nicolas, > > I looked into the possibility of using edubuntu as a thin client > > server for 'fat clients', sometimes called workstations... > Basically, > > each client gets its own chroot > thats a pretty insane setup, why not use the same chroot for all users > and mount /home from the server, user settings and data are only saved > in the home dir so there is no point in having a gigabyte sized > chroot > for everyone that only duplicates the system files multiple times ... > > ciao > oli > > -- > edubuntu-users mailing list > [email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]> > Modify settings or unsubscribe at: > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-users > > > -- edubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-users
