It is not a must that the developers also sell hardware. I have run LTSP installations for 6(?) years now and have been involved in advocacy almost since then at various forums and events. The "old" hardware is best used/recylced for LTSP networks. I have also imported and sold a few E2300 for some people who are using LTSP networks but overall it is cheaper (not in space or energy terms) to use locally assembled boxes around i810 chipsets. > My tryst with LTSP is just an year old and I have implemented some projects > with thin-clients bought from vendors who hardly know a thing about LTSP. > They are happy selling the WTS (Windows Terminal Server) concept.

Try and use local community / LUG's to get involved with you and I am sure things can rapidly be improved. However why local? With the world being flat in internet terms why not use LTSP community as a whole and find / share solutions? Look at GOSC project to deploy GUI for LTSP admin etc. and contribute there. This list itself is a gem of resource even for non-LTSP issues. > 2.

PS: I know most of people do not follow email niceties (mostly they are not aware) but if you follow bottom post/in-line post style of email conversations it becomes a whole lot easier to carry on meaningful dialogue and you can snip out what is not meaningful too. Most people just hit reply button and top post leaving prior message appended uselessly at bottom. See if you can adopt this style and persuade others. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
