Hi LTSP users. For several years we have been running with the following setup:
1 LTSP boot server (using LTSP version 4.2), from which the clients boots and get an XDMCP chooser. The server is not used for anything else (users cannot acess it) ~10 RedHat RHEL 4 servers the users can log into via XDMCP ~120-150 clients, old PCs pentium (586) and up The setup works fine, sound and USB access works for most clients. Because of low server performance (low on RAM), I'd like to upgrade the workhorse server hardware to something better, and a upgrade the software to RedHat RHEL 5.3 But, and here is the problem, the X-server in the LTSP 4.2 clients and the Gnome in RHEL 5.3 does not like each other so I basically need to upgrade to LTSP5. But there is no LTSP support for RHEL 5.3, so my question is what would you advise us to do in our case? It is not an option to switch entirely to Fedora, but I was thinking whether it would be possible to use a Fedora based server as a new boot server for the clients and then still be able to connect to the workhorses using XDMCP? And what would need to be altered on the RHEL server such that USB access and sound would work? -- /Lars Madsen Dept. of Mathematical Sciences Aarhus University ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.
