I think that i don't explain very well what I need or I don't use the good English words to explain what i need. I try to explain this better: I need boot like PXE which load an initrd and then load a little but complete and operational Linux system in RAM. I need that everything I need is running in RAM, not on hard drive and not with NFS and no network traffic for Xwindows. Since I ask this question to the list I found informations about initrd ramdisk and so. I've to says we want to use something based on Debian Woody or Sarge at the last, for upgrade stability and maintenance. If no project like this exist, I've to create a little kernel and to find how to make a little Xwindow system. I know that this will require enough memory (512 Mo would be good because I've to run a Java application on the stations to), and I think that the doesn't have to use swap or I will have a kernel panic. > If so, > then you just need to boot the termnial as an X Terminal and > access the sessions remotely. > If I understand what you say ( ho my poor English), I think this solution is not for me. > Some Linux distributions provide X Terminal capability, > such as: > > http://xdenu.tcm.hut.fi/ > ftp://manta.univ.gda.pl/pub/linux/xfreedom/ > > thanks for the links. > LTSP does use NFS, but it is a slick solution if you > can use it. In fact no, because I can't use NFS.
