Hi Jason, fat clients works on Debian as well. The difference from ubuntu is that there are a few steps you have to do manually that ubuntu does fore you. Start by building the chroot with ltsp-build-client. Then you have to install a desktop in the chroot and add LTSP_FATCLIENT=True to lts.conf. I have not found a way to get gdm working yet so there is a choice between kdm,xdm and ldm as display manger. Local devices does not work with ldm so kdm is my choise at the moment. I'm not able to safely remove the local device again so that is another problem. I am sure the problems I have with gdm and local devices can be solved. by the way. Before installing anything in the chroot remember to mount proc and sys (not sure if sys is necessary) mount /proc -t proc /proc mount /sys -t sysfs /sys Joakim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AppSumo Presents a FREE Video for the SourceForge Community by Eric Ries, the creator of the Lean Startup Methodology on "Lean Startup Secrets Revealed."
