Hi Firstly, LTSP does use XDMCP. LTSP is simply a small Linux distribution intended to be booted over a network through PXE. It includes an X server, which then connects to a display manager (am I using the right term here?) using XDMCP.

LTSP is probably more configurable, and can do things like access local devices (floppy drives, CD drives, USB drives ...), local sound and (if you want) run other applications locally. > Most people would say cost, but wyse produce the Winterm > 5125se @ £250 which boots from embedded linux and can DisklessWorkstations have thin clients from $279.95 which can run LTSP. Alternatively, you can use old (200MHz / 64MB RAM) computers as workstations and still get quite reasonable speed. Many organisations have many old computers which are otherwise useless. > connect to a running X server on the SLES 8 server using > XDMCP, therefore using native software with no additional > 3rd party bits required. > > Surely using XDMCP which is what X was designed around is > better than any 3rd party stuff, sorry no offence to LTSP. > > Regards > MARK ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Sybase ASE Linux Express Edition - download now for FREE LinuxWorld Reader's Choice Award Winner for best database on Linux. http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_idU88&alloc_id065&op=click _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
