Some guidance would be appreciated.
1) Don't do Local Apps (The thought experiment is often wrong) eg I'll show you a site that will consistantly crash a workstation with 128M ram!! (mozilla on server, using workstation DISPLAY) 2) When everything works and then you decide to do 'local apps' consider what and why. Run in another 2 machine environment. Then transfer to ltsp environment. My opinion: unless you have 500M on the workstation you ought not to be running apps locally. I think apps should be run on the server. 'local apps' should be things like 'seti at home' that use the spare computing power, but not system resources where system is defined as 'ltsp server, network and workstations'. The questions you are asking suggest that you are doing 'thought experiments' (wouldn't it be nice if) Since you are using ssh to the workstation I guess you are using ltsp-4. Did you build Firebird in the ltsp environment? You should not try copying arbitary libraries from an arbitary server to the ltsp environment. See all the build motivation for ltsp-4.
