LTSP is a pretty isolated package in the scheme of things. To me it makes the most sense to have your DHCP server be your LTSP server. After all, it basically just boots the thin clients. Once they are up, just have them point to your original LTSP server for running the X session. But be warned: while the stations will boot much faster, X forwarded over broadband is still rather painful. I would guess that NX is the way to go (though I haven't worked with it yet). > I am still wondering if instaling LTSP on the boot server can help make it > load faster.
