That's what I thought. It's just that I wasn't sure if LTSP was the right choice. All we need is the nxclient. Funny Xavier should mention PXES, I tried out Diego's CD with freeNX client some years ago (thanks Xavier). If I were to use LTSP, what would the basic step be to install it locally? I don't need ltspfs or LDM, etc. Thanks.
