Assuming you will use a graphical user interface, the higher end of standard ADSL just about works, say up to about 1 Mb/s in and 384 kb/s out. There are techniques you could use to reduce X bandwidth, but then these are not standard LTSP. As far as I know LTSP is designed to be used in a LAN environment. X is a bandwidth hog, nothing like RDP or ICA, and the response would be bad. It's easy to try, set up any Linux server on one end (with plenty of bandwidth available to it), ssh into it and start up a graphical application. In my experience it's useable, but not good enough for serious work. > - What about security ? Probably the most simple solution is to have a VPN connection. There were some questions by a Swedish team some weeks ago who looked like they were trying to get LTSP to work across a VPN, but I don't know if they were succesful (it should work, though). -- Mvh Ragnar Wisløff ------------------ life is a reach. then you gybe. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
