Well, it worked for us in testing, if it doesn't, it's obviously a bug and will get fixed. > Exactly - We are still using LTSP 4.2 here because it is rock stable but > I like LTSP 5.0 because of its features (well known and modern distro > based, modular X org,... ) but there are bits and pieces that shows that > it is still not that stable yet: > - the nfs problem I mentioned above Noted. > - shell terminal says "no job control on this terminal" (????) and > "more" or "less" commands no longer work in shell console in Gutsy (was > working in fiesty) I've seen this behaviour before, ad I haven't had a chance to dig into it. The better way to handle it, I've found, is simply to either create an unprivileged user in the chroot, or, at your discretion, assign a password for root. Then you can simply log in on tty1, where everything works as normal. I know there's been some changes in console kit, but I'm not sure what they are. > - VESA framebuffer modes for higher text resolution no longer work in > Gutsy (well I know I can not blame ltsp developers for this but anyway...)

You're certainly welcome to use whatever works best for you. However, I'll state on the record that, as for myself, I've abandoned working on LTSP 4.2, and am working on making LTSP5 better. That's what's going to make it into SuSE, and Fedora when the porting efforts are done, and that's what's in Debian and Ubuntu today. It doesn't make any sense for me to spend time on the old one.
