Hello I'm using ltsp for a little company, which have a point of sale. The point of sale use a dedicated WindowsXP application, connected to various devices (a special serial printer, a serial cash register, an usb scan code device and a normal usb printer). All of this is setup on a Windows PC.
Currently, the user opened a Linux session on a Ltsp client, and then run the point of sale application trough rdesktop (seamless rdp). Now, I would like to remove the Windows box, connect all the devices on the thin-client and put the software on a virtualized WindowsXP. The user will run its ordinary Linux session and still access the application trough rdesktop in seamless mode. That means that the application will be connected to its devices trough RDP and trough LTSP. It looks feasible, except I'm not sure it is a good idea ;-). Jetpipe seems not yet able to access serial devices (?) and I wonder if it will be easier to access the devices trough rdesktop only: 1. a script running on the thin client open a RDP connection to share the devices 2. the user log in to Linux and then launch a second RDP connection to run the windows application. Any ideas ?
