I am posting this message from a red hat advanced server cluster running desktops for our terminals. I cannot help you with ltsp because we don't run it we instead load a very minimal linux on the client and point the client at the cluster for it's X display. Same basic idea as LTSP. I am running Sistina GFS for shared user homes and we round robin dns load balance the the clients among the cluster members. This is working really great and I can take down a cluster node with minimal impact on the organization. It is however not a cheap solution as it requires a fiber channel san, sistina licenses and alot of setup time. Down time is not acceptable in our situation so it justifies the cost.
Advanced server out of the box only provides a active / passive high availablity system. If you add GFS on top of advanced server you can run alot of software in a active / active configuration. You have to be careful some software like postgresql we run on the cluster in active / passive mode and let advanced server handle failover.

Hi all. I'm considering trying LTSP3 on RH Advanced server (current version). Has anyone tried this and/or got any hints?
