You'd be better off running LTSP4 series with local device support. LTSP5 takes on dufferent direction and while it does deliver full desktop/kernel integration it will put load on low end client. For instance even with LTSP4.2 really small clients like EBox2300/MicroJr etc show slow down of screen refresh as they are running only a 200MHz processor and X is something that ruins locally on LTSP. The minimum CPU specs for older P-1's would be much higher than the VIA chipset cpu's. On the other hand thin clients with 800MHz processors still fly in the same network. -- Regards, Sudev Barar ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
