You will need XFree86 binaries, and the rest of the NFS-root environment, compiled for ppc, yes. > Basically my question is, Do my clients and Server have to be the same architecture? > (Sorry about the spelling errors if there are any.) When talking about thin clients and net-booting in general, no they don't. I don't see any reason why they should need to with LTSP, as the client and server roots are clearly separated. The main challenge will probably be recompiling LTSP for PPC - you'll probably need a ppc cross-compiler for i386, and I don't know if the build scripts are set up to handle cross-compiling (or if the programs build properly with arch=ppc). Anybody able to answer this, or is the answer "try it and see"? -- Craig Ringer ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
