hello, after going through lstp documentation and after searching the web, and this mailing archive, I'm still confused if ltsp is what I need for my purpose:
- as opposed to thin client provided by ltsp (based on xdmcp), I wish - ideally - to be able to have a client that runs locally all applications, including X, as it were a classic linux desktop. why I need this: - for a small office lan - I have tree pc, all the same class and aproximatelly the same cpu-power and ram; oll of them are powerful enough (AMD 1.1 GHz, 256 RAM, etc) and quite identical, only the vide cards are bit different (on server: gefrce mx2, on the other two rivatnt) - obviously, I don't want to have three different linux-es installed on that three pc-s. - but in the same time I don't want to waste the resurces of those two (cpu, ram) and have only one (the server) that do all the work - I don't want even to have the same fully functional distro from server duplicated on /opt/ltps/i386 (file by file) question: - is ltsp what I really need for these purposes? if not, please point me to the correct solution - in "9.4. Application Configuration" section of ltsp doc it's said that: "So, the cleanest way to handle this is to have a complete tree with all of the binaries and libraries that the workstation will need, independent of the server binaries and libraries" can I avoid duplicating distro on server? suposing I update a packet or I install a new app, I have to do copy all it's files to /opt/ltps/i386, which is adding unwanted administration complexity how I can avoid this and reach my goal? please help with this issue. if it's needed I can provide more details. the linux distro I'm using it's mandrake 9.0 thank you, radu ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
