At least now I know it is possible to refer to a device attached to a WS. I really want to get into this stuff. Does anyone know the best distribution to get started with LTSP? I'm planning on getting started with an LTSP-ready WS so I won't run into any errors. (to learn how to work with all). I wan't to set up a web-based system in a windows environment just to get started, so I can easily port it to an LTSP-system later on.
