Hello, Sigh. I have been trying to figure out the basics of LTSP and for the life of me I just can't figure it out. I'm finding the documentation very frustrating because it assumes that I already know something about LTSP.
I am a fairly knowledgeable Unix user, and a grad-student member of the computer comitee at UMD. We have a network of about 20 Sun workstations in the computer lab, plus another 40 or so in faculty offices. Due to budget cuts, and the high cost of Sun, we are looking into moving to Linux. I am a big fan of Linux and I like the idea of the move. First question: Is LTSP a distribution? Or is it an add-on package? Knowing this will put everything in your documentation into perspective. Second question: Does LTSP only work on x86 machines? It would be great if we could keep our current SPARC hardware if we can. I am looking at alternatives for Linux migration. What do you recommend? In my ideal world, we would standarize on Mandrake, we'd keep the old hardware, we'd save lots of money and it would all be really easy. Am I dreaming or is this actually possible?
