I used PXES for some years. I think the main difference is the config-program which makes it realy nice for admins to customize kernels and config params for the client (gui- lts.conf). Moreover, D.T. Milano integrated NX, RDP, X11 and (optionally) a local window manager from which you can open

Hi list, I know that I recently wrote something like this client works out of the box but that was before I wanted to get the sound to work ... Problem: Neither the sound card is autodetected nor does the i810_audio module work. Does anyone accidently know the right module to specify in lts.conf?
