Hi, all;
Hmmm ... I know I've seen frequently used binary software loaded into memory using the "preload" command from the rc.* scripts. The "ThinkNIC" distribution preloads lots of software this way before giving a session over to the user. I think it would be reasonable to use this to boot an LTSP app server with the most commonly used software already loaded into memory (OpenOffice, Mozilla, Evolution, and so on). I'm interested in creating a server-based LTSP distribution intended for app servers to boot and run from CD-ROM and getting persistant data from the network via NFS and LDAP. I started corresponding with Tom Lisjac <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> about this, but in a "Knoppix" context. He has a distribution that does something along these lines. Anybody know about other efforts along these lines?
