I must say that trying to figure out LTSP has been an exercise in frustration. The website is difficult to browse. The HOWTOs are anecdotal, un-professional, they display poorly on Mozilla and are difficult to read.
The main page is a gignatic mass of text which appears to have no real content. I have read much of the documentation and I have gained very little understanding of LTSP. I don't know the hardware requirements, or how it actually works. It would be good to have a high-level explanation of how to actually set up a network with LTSP instead of hiding the main concepts behind a sea of details. Details are certainly necessary, but I also need a high-level understanding of LTSP before the details can make sense. It doesn't help me to know that your workstation has a Linksys LNE100TX, version 4.1 card. What I need to know is whether the workstation has to be a full computer or not. Can I get by without a hard drive? Do I need a floppy drive? What the heck is etherboot? I'd like a high-level explanation of what goes on at the workstation end. In particular, I need to know what new hardware we would have to buy to get LTSP working. Currently we have Solaris workstations. I'd like to know what we can reuse, and what we need to buy anew.
