Hi Anselm, I Have this situation: a server running novell 3.11 with 40 DOS diskless terminals running a FoxPro application in DOS environment and I have to migrate to a Linux solution, but the Clients do not have Hard disks. That's why I thought in a LTSP solution. Don't you think it's possible?
Thanks, Pei.
