I've actually used OpenBSD as an LTSP server. The clients are web terminals used in a library to view the card catalog. It was slightly more hassle to set up than a standard installation that uses Linux, but once everything was configured it worked beautifully. If you want my installation notes on the process i would be happy to send them privately (to avoid list clutter) on request. My setup was with the clients configured to run everything locally (using the server simply as a filesystem). I did a bit of experimenting running applications on the OpenBSD server and having them display on the Linux clients. I was able to get it to work by displaying the application through an SSH tunnel. Unfortunately, the clients i was using (LTSP Jammin-125, an older model they don't seem to sell anymore) were a bit too slow to perform well while handling all the SSH encryption. Someone who understands X11 configuration better than i should be able to set it up without needing the SSH tunnel which would probably have made it fast enough to be useable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dan Ramaley Dial Center 118, Drake University Network Programmer/Analyst 2407 Carpenter Ave +1 515 271-4540 Des Moines IA 50311 USA
