After looking through forums, documentation, manuals, wikipedia articles and more, my understanding of LTSP is thus:
* thin client boots from wake-on-lan, loads pxe from uefi * thin client loads pxelinux, then initializes network from dhcp * after downloading initrd via tftp, mounts nbd and nfs drives * initializes the x window system via ssh forwarding and ltsp window manager * finishes loading and stabilizes one thing remains unclear, and no amount of googling and manual perusal has really enlightened me. How does GLX forwarding work? i understand that the x server uses glx to access opengl-based 3D and 2D acceleration, and since the x server is running on the thin client, the rendering relies on the thin client's graphics card. I don't mind this, since it's a lot easier to build a bunch of machines with beefy graphics cards and high-quality NICs than it is to load up on RAM, CPU cores, and very high quality motherboards, etc. etc. If anyone knows exactly how GLX works with the X forwarding in LTSP, I'd appreciate it. If anyone has tried using virtualbox or vmware over LTSP, please let me know how it went!
