2015-02-10 Thread Rolf-Werner Eilert
Hi folks, Just thought that the new RasPi or the Odroid C1 might work good as LTSP terminals. They both have 1 GB RAM, the RasPi being somewhat slower. The only prerequisite would be PXE booting, but shouldn't they both be able to? Does anyone here already have tried them? Rolf

That's good news, and a nice page! I browsed through it, and even without drinking so much coffee :) I have a question: What kind of kernel does the RasPi load here? You wrote there is actually no need for an i386 kernel, but is there yet another one? Another question is RAM. You say, 128 MB

Hi Rolf, The new Raspberry Pi's will make excellent thin clients. I have a guide here for the model B+, but I will be updating it once I get round to acquiring a new raspberry pi B2. www.uzerp.com/blog/running-raspberry-pis-as-thin-clients-with-ubuntu-14-04-lts/ On 10/02/15 09:13, Rolf-Werner

I'm not entirely sure how BerryTerminal works, but since ARM cannot execute x86 code (i386 build of LTSP), I'd guess that it uses LDM and some kind of RDP mixture. You can build a AMD64 kernel, but I find this pointless, as i386 is compatible with all clients, as in extreme cases we have a

We use the original pi's and berry term with ltsp and then each person uses xfreerdp to remote windows server 2008r2 desktops as windows pc's the ltsp is locked and so the people do not even see it, but it works for 50 plus people in our teams of staff I believe the new pi's may not give too
