On the server side, LTSP relies on different services running: gdm, dhcp-server, tftp-server, nfs-server (basically). There's nothing as a "ltsp daemon". > 2) suppose the server is running, I don't know how, > but lets suppose... I didn't find a Windows Client > for LTSP freeware, isn't there?

The point in ltsp is that the client software is a Linux which is booted disklessly - in case you want a "terminal session" (speaking microsoft concepts) you could try the cygwin package (cygwin.com) that is free and comes with an xserver (which needs to be called with X -query ip.address.of.server ) - this does only involve gdm setup on the server then, and not anything of the LTSP stuff. > 3) Does Windows Clients for Windows TS (2000/NT4) work > with LTSP? Is the LTSP port 3389 like WTS? X protocol is different from Microsoft's RemoteDesktopProtocol.

Yes. But it's no matter of configuring LTSP, but getting gdm setup to do that (ior whichever login manager you use). There's people around here that can help you with that, but before doing so you should sort out what you want - for example, machines running windows that just "open a window to the linux server" (which is not an LTSP thing, mainly) or boxes not running any Microshit software, booting off the network etc. www.ltsp.org has a documentation section that should help you understanding the concepts. No matter what you prefer there's surely people there that can help you with configuring your display manager, which seems to be your main goal.
