[Ltsp-discuss] IBM Netvista N2200/N2800 Thin clients

[Tom Bailly-salins]

Hello,

I was wondering if any wizz kid, had managed to tweak IBM thinclients to run with LTSP.

IBM provides a solution to run Linux Redhat or Turbolinux on their small client. It works, but it's nowhere near LTSP in terms of implementation, performance and use ! and since I allready have LTSP running, why change ?

The problem with IBM netvista thinclients is that they dont recognise the compressed kernels, nor the mknbi etherboot kernels used with LTSP.

I tryed to use the kernel they provide for booting on LTSP's NFS installation instead of the "IBM custom Linux NFS installation".

No luck with that, the kernel boots but hangs in the middle of booting just after mounting LTSP's NFS export.

So I'm calling for anyone out there who might have figured it out, I would really like to get those 10 thinclients going on LTSP, I'm trying to convince my company to give Linux a chance, and to do that they gave me these 10 thin clients that they used for computer training courses and public access web terminals.

Thanks a million

Cheers

TOM
