This package will only be available in a PPA. It's not related to ltsp-upstream and won't be included in any distros for a long time, and certainly not until any security concerns are resolved. And even then, it will be just an "alternative way to maintain LTSP", not "the new way to maintain LTSP". > I admin a network of 80 or so thin clients that all use LTSP to boot > and run RDP, so here are my concerns with the new system you're > describing. The target user group is small computer labs where a simple GUI-based method to maintain a Linux fat chroot is preferred over the console-based one. Since you're using RDP, you definately don't need it, so you can completely ignore the related mails. > My second concern is comparatively minor.

That's why it targets small computer labs, where it's not a very big problem to reboot the server at the end of the day if an image update is necessary. Actually one could do that when the server is running too; but he's risking filesystem and package inconsistencies if he's installing programs etc while running the export image script. In the future, when a compressed BTRFS file system will be an option for LTSP servers, there won't be a need for a server reboot as it will be possible to use BTRFS snapshots. With those, there won't even be a squashfs step necessary, the image exporting will be instant. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
