With Celerons @450 MHz, 64 Mb RAM, S3 video cards with 8 Mb VideoRAM, and new 19" Samsung TFT monitors I'm able to watch this video: http://movies.apple.com/movies/dreamworks/kung_fu_panda/kung_fu_panda-tlr1_h640w.mov full screen at 1440x900 with totem at all my 8 clients simultaneously with no frames lost. Ubuntu 8.10 with Jaunty LTSP backports.
I'm rather new to LTSP, so I didn't get to see LTSP 4, but LTSP 5 is light enough for my 10 year old PCs. What I miss: * A more efficient flash player for Linux * Some X/SDL/... functions can be *really* slow without shm (e.g. 0.1 fps at some games). * My graphics cards don't have 3D acceleration, so some kind of X proxy would be the only way for my TCs to work with 3D apps (if possible, for these specific windows only). So in my case at least, old clients work fine, and increasing performance would mean fixing some tools/libraries/apps, not LTSP. -- Alkis Georgopoulos ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
