I configured the FreeNX cache to use /tmp, ltsp mounts a ramdisk at /tmp doesnt it? My thin clients have 256Mb ram
I fully understnad your point - my observation was that the claim 'near local speed' doesnt hold, and LTSP is still much faster on smaller networks with low powered thin clients- thats it. I intend to use Freenx together with LTSP - where Freenx is for remote clients and LTSP for local ones. I wonder how well SSH compression fares? as far as I can tell it only works with ssh protocol ver 1 so I wonder if the NETWORK_COMPRESSION variable in ldm actually does anything. I heard somewhere that it comes close to NX like on this page: http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/HOWTO:_Install_MueKow_on_Ubuntu It actually claims SSH compression is better than NX? Has anybody tested this? If that is actually true then high powered thin clients are a requirement for both NX and LTSP/SSH then I would rather go with LTSP/SSH as thats a far cleaner solution.
