I'm interested I having ltsp5 supported in (open)suse. When looking at the minimum requirements to support ltsp5, I believe that opensuse already fullfill most of these, and perhaps all. Is it possible at state where opensuse fails the minimal requirements? 1 Booting thin clients via PXE and Etherboot 2 Local devices using LTSPFS 3 Network transparent multimedia (audio and video) 4 Screen scripts, including XDMCP, ldm/sdm, rdesktop, telnet, shell 5 Booting thin clients with as little as 32mb of system ram 6 Use of LTSP scripts and utilities (getltscfg, et al) 7 Passing of VCI string from the client to the server (in initramfs) 8 Transparent pass-through printing 9 Network swapping via NBD 10 Ability to specify location of the LTSP chroot tree (default location: /opt/ltsp) 11 Ability to control options per workstation using "lts.conf". I think that 1 and 2 are supported out of the (opensuse) box. 3 is that esd? I don't have experience with multimedia (MM) and ltsp. 4 Are these the /etc/init.d (rc.d) scripts? What are ldm and sdm? 5 What does this (< 32MB) actually involve? A special build kernel or might the default kernel provided by opensuse be used? 6 Aren't the LTSP scripts provided by ltsp and as such automatically used? 7 What are VCI strings? Are those the strings on the bootprompt? 8 Transparent pass through printing, is that the printing via port 9100? 9 Is that working in opensuse? 10 I have ltsp-4.2 in /opt/ltsp/ltsp-4.2 why would this be more difficult in ltsp-5? 11 same as 10, why should that not be possible in ltsp-5 I think that what it basically comes down to is the following question: what is provided by ltsp and what is to be provided by distribution precisely? I mean all the above items are currently available, via the ltsp packages, and as such it is working in opensuse. Any idea when ltsp 5 might be available (2, 5 months from now)? I know it will be a rough guess and things may be months later than desired. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
