I've tried LTSP with Debian Etch and LTSP 4.2 packages from LTSP.org and the clients started X and connected to GDM via XDMCP. From power button to login screen, it was a whole 30 seconds on average.
Now I have installed Ubuntu 6.10 on the same server and installed LTSP with aptitude install ltsp-server and built the client environment with ltsp-build-client. The clients connect using LDM but for some reason, it takes about three to four times as long (approx. 150 sec) to get a thin client up and running on the exact same hardware and network. My question is, where has the drop in speed at boot come from? Has anyone experienced anything similar? PS: Does it matter if any program is installed on the server or the chroot environment? What is the advantage of either, or is there any? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
