Hi Darryl and others,
I have used VNC before, "without LTSP", but I think this is very slow, because some users have dial-up connections. I have tried Windows TS only the these users get to use the systems fast, and I thought with Linux TS the performance would be the same or near of Windows TS. Is it true?
I'd be very surprised. I haven't used Windows Terminal Services, but I have used Citrix, and it's _fast_. Over 56k, I find VNC barely bearable. I've heard some very positive things about NX from people who have used it for remote access, so you might want to look at that. I believe NoMachine are offering some form of LTSP integration too.

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any other solutions.

Hi,
I installed LTSP, VNC (with config for Xvnc+xinetd startup) and FreeNX.
1) LTSP: I didn't get to test, because the manual for v. 4.1 didn't explaing how to start the service, and I also didn't find it into 3.0 manual (it talks about a path to start the service that there isn't into 4.1). Then, I don't know anything about better or worst performance of it. What about the real goal of LTSP? Access for diskless clients? Isn't the idea of remote connections the main goal of it?
2) VNC works fine for LAN and high-bandwidth WAN, but bad for low-bands like dial-up.
3) FreeNX seems to be good, but the client from NX NOMachine is very slow to start the connection, it becomes negotiating the connection, then arises exceptions about problems with XFree86 configs/versions.
4) Windows TS, at this moment, seems to be faster than others, and the client like Linux Remote Desktop starts up very fast too.
I'm getting to prove for my enterprise there is a free solution alternative for WTS, but it has been difficult to prove...
