Andy, Currently, it's a mixed bag. On one hand, it's great to not have the Ethernet cable limiting mobility. OTOH, I'm experiencing 5 to 10 second pauses every so often (quite frequently) which are rather annoying. During the pauses, mouse clicks and key presses register but I don't get a response until after the pause. I haven't really tried diagnosing the problem, and I don't think any wireless monitoring tools will work as all programs run on the LTSP server, not the client. If anyone has ideas on this, I'd be glad to hear them.
Aside from the pauses, LTSP over a wireless connection feels great. It's quite responsive and it doesn't really feel different from working on my LTSP server, which is a dual Pentium Pro workstation. Of course, with slow CPUs on the server, things don't exactly fly even when working locally. I haven't yet tried video or audio on the LTSP client to find out how quickly the connection gets saturated. I want to try that next. One additional thing, booting up wirelessly takes considerably longer than even 10 Mbps Ethernet. I haven't timed it, but I'll guess it takes about 2 minutes to get to the X login screen.
