LTSP is available as .rpm, .deb, or .tgz, so the quick answer to 'which distribution' is that it doesn't matter. However, if you run into problems, you stand a better chance of getting help from the mailing list if you use one of the common distros (RedHat, Debian...). Some sites choose RH on the grounds that the binaries in LTSP 3 come from RH 7.
You will need to install on your server all the services used by LTSP (dhcp, tftp, etc.), plus whatever software your users will be running. Look at the installation options in your chosen distribution: usually something like 'server install plus GUI' gives most of the software you need. If you find anything is missing, you can always add it afterwards. Good luck - John On Fri, 25 Oct 2002 15:40:56 -1000 Bin Zhang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm new to LTSP.
