I have Ubuntu 8.04 LTSP running on the server and 10 thin clients all working well in a small lab. The thin clients are old Pentium 2s and still going strong.
We are buying a couple of new PCs for 'multimedia' in the same lab - in particular watching of DVD's and burning CD's. What is the best way to set these up? Should I just install Ubuntu locally on each of the new PCs and then use NFS and LDAP for authentication and file sharing to the server? Or would the LTSP Fat client setup work for DVD watching? Fat client setup as described here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPFatClients If the Fat Client setup would work, would the Fat Clients be diskless or would I need to buy hard drives? Many thanks in advance for your thoughts - and also thanks to the Edubuntu / LTSP developers for a wonderful thing. (For interest: I've just upgraded the lab of 10 computers that was running LTSP on Fedora Core 2! It ran flawlessly for 4 years but Netscape Navigator was looking a bit dated!) ------------------------- Tom Atkins Ireland
