Hi I've been looking into thin client tech, WinTS, Thinstation, NX etc...
And I've actually used Thinstation and Win TS. But I can't say that I've really got a grip on how LTSP 4.2/5 works. >From what I can gather, LTSP seems more like something aimed at diskless fat clients? Booting from PXE and loading X - locally (?) - and running apps like firefox - locally.... I mean...sure, you've got centralized control, but it's not really that thin if you run everything locally? Or can you select what apps you want to run locally? I've noticed that when running with thinstation, I can max out the switch and really push the server when many users are running java or flash, and is for me a real show stopper. So if I only want firefox and java/flash/mplayerplug-in to run locally and everything else on the server, seemlessly, can I do that? (that would be the selective fat-client approach) I know some thin clients come with linux or win embedded with a browser, but then you'll have to minimize the remote session and then start the browser, hardly intuitive for non-experienced users. Buuuut I've probably just got it all backwards - as usual ;) But I would appreciate if someone would set the record straight. -- Vänliga Hälsningar/Cheers!
