I see.

So in what situation would you want to use LTSP with FreeNX together?

Would it be that FreeNX is used just like VNC so that someone with a Windows machine could access the LTSP server in a similar way that VNC allows for you to do?

My guess would also be that if this is the case are there FreeNX client software similar to VNC as well?

Thanks,
Lonnie

They're actually not.  LTSP will boot a thin client: FreeNX won't.
Think of NX as a super-duper-crazy-fast upgrade to VNC.  They're not
exactly the same, but the overall concept is.

Also, when would you use them together?

1. LTSP over a WAN.  Boot locally, but work globally (TM).  :)
2. Session saving.  Can't do that with plain old XDMCP.

There are many more reasons, but that's it from me.  I hope that helps
some.

Ranbir
