Hi all, I want to do a terminal server with about 40 thin clients using Gentoo. All thin clients will be able to boot PXE, boot image(s) on one server. Clients will only connect to the server using XDM, desktop will be KDE.
Questions: -Does anyone have experience? -Which is best, PXES, LTSP or just plain syslinux and use a minimal modified Gentoo install for booting the thin clients? (I have already tried a few options, PXES complains about ram disk space while creating the initrd, couldn't figure out why, ltsp splash screen garbles screen during client boot, last option seems to work, but of course I need to tweak the init scripts a bit. Anyone any experience with one of these options and their problems?) -I would like to implement Win4Lin terminal server, anyone any experience? -Server hardware, have a dual Xeon 2.8 available, curently 2 GB of RAM is this enough? -Any advantage in using Gigabti ethernet for the clients? -Client hardware, anyone any experience with dedicated thin clients? -Audio ??? Any ideas? Thanks for any help! -- [email protected] mailing list
