Reading this makes me shiver:
For several reasons, I'm planning to change from a Suse 10.3 and LTSP
4.2 to a more up-to-date Kiwi/LTSP5 environment. But I don't want to
swap all our (ca. 50) terminals, of course. Those are PII and PIII
machines, and one of the reasons why I want to update is having LTSP
managing their graphic cards and USB better (at least I hope it will).
Currently, I'm setting up a Suse-Edu-Life with KIWI on a test machine to
see how it works. What do you think?
Regards
Rolf
