Hello
Which windows programs do you run using wine? Once you have installed wine as a local app, does that mean all programs installed under it also run as local apps?
I use the wine version of Hot Potatoes from http://hotpot.uvic.ca/ (not the java version)
karel the robot see http://www.cs.mtsu.edu/~untch/karel/This programs run more robust and faster than in normal mode (running on server) and I think they run as a local app. (I can not grep them by ""ps aux" in a localapp xterm . Only wine ! )
I also use a german ms-windows-based programm in school which needs with multimedial-data about 500 MB on harddisk. I installed it only in /home/wine (server) and not in every /home folder of every autologged-in-user.
So I need the ability of ltsp-localapp to have access to /home instead of access to / home/logged_in_user.

2009/3/29 Reiner Schmid <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> Hello,I've found fatclient to be sufficient on 800mhz + 300mb+ (ram more important than cpu)I can confirm this (ram more important) . Testing with my clients some weeks ago : CPU 1GHz and 512 MB are enough to work fine as a (nubae) fat client. (With 256 ram it was not possible in a good way) But in my classroom now I use a Intrepid-ltsp with local apps and the help from "GetMoreFromLocalApps" see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/GetMoreFromLocalApps localapps are : firefox vlc wine and the games "lbreakout2 pingus fillets" It is very easy and fast to install a new localapp and you instead of /home/logged_in_user (<- last one I noticed testing jaunty-ltsp, only access to) So I can use a folder named /home/wine for wine-windows-software where the localapp "wine" and all clients could access to. With openoffice - I think- it is no problem to let it run on the server.
