Probably your problem is faulty cabling or switch. It is very important for LTSP. Sometimes network cards on the clients do not have PXE so they will not boot. The best decision, if you value freedom, is to stick with a distribution that has only 100% free software. Ubuntu has nonfree software. Trisquel is based on Ubuntu but is 100% free. -- Saludos libres, Quiliro Ordóñez Presidente Asociación de Software Libre del Ecuador - ASLE Av de la Prensa N58-219 y Cristóbal Vaca de Castro Quito, Ecuador (593)2-253 5534 (593)2-340 1517 (593)8-454 8078 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
