Hi Sami I am using FC5 with ltsp and have no problems, its been a while since I set it up but after following the documents It installed with some effort but the local devices worked OK. on the whole I think that the local devices work at the kernel level and the distros tend to use the same kernel sources so I think that there is really no point in trying different distros.
try reworking your way through the install steps maybe you missed something (its usually the case for me when something doesnt work), sorry I cant give you a better answer Darrin On Sat, 2006-07-29 at 11:53 +0300, H.
