Hello all,
I am about to venture out and setup a demo system to test out LTSP for my
work place. We are looking into the future and like what we see so far. I have
been dabbling in similar setups since late 1999 to early 2000 so I have some
basics. but so much has changed now. Here is what we would like to see happen
in the testbed:
Run Ubuntu on a "server" with LTSP installed
have a windows machine (xp, vista, 7, or a combination of them) to serve
windows programs to the clients
have about 3-5 "client" machines to test with.
This is planned to be done in a closed testbed off our main network. I have a
few questions though....
1. What version of Ubuntu should I look at? I would like to test 10.04 but I
have read here on the list where people are having issues with it.
2. Would I need the server to be i386 or amd64 install? I have read that all
clients need to be 32bit anyways but the server may have more memory than
32-bit can read
3. What is the best way to tie windows programs into the ltsp server? I am
thinking I may need to use the ltsp-cluster instead of the standalone.
4. As long as a client can network boot I should be able to use it to test,
correct? We don't have any "thin clients" currently, but I can remove the hard
drives from a few pc's and test with them.
Thanks in advance for any and all advise. I look forward to this adventure!
