All,

Implementing LTSP into a Windows based environment can be done in such a way
that it is seemless and users notice little difference. I know that this
subject is about an open-source TS server for Windows, but why would you
need one when you can have LTSP clients authenticating against a Windows
ADS? In my organization we have a Windows Active Directory infrastructure.
One of the issues I was facing when pushing for Linux and open source
software was making it seemless and as easy to use as it's proprietary
counterparts. I was able to get both our Ubuntu 6.06 with LTSP 4.2 to
authenticate against our Windows 2003 ADS as well as our K12LTSP 4.4.2 box.
Now users can log in with the same usernames and passwords they use for the
Windows 2000/XP boxes. Authenticating is done against AD via kerberos and
winbind and things are running very smoothly.
So to get to the point, I don't know why any would want an open source
version of TS on a Windows box when you can integrate K12LTSP or a
distribution of your choice with LTSP on in into an already existing Windows
infrastructure with ease.

just adding some info that might be handy when integrating:
Some app's, like e. g. those using the MSJet database engine, may run
into problems if you put the databases on a Linux file server.

Gudmund
