If you have: - a server that matches the recommend configuration (in particular it has two network ports, one goes to Internet, one goes to the Ethernet switch the clients are on) - an Edubuntu 12.04 DVD Server setup is a matter of ticking the "install LTSP" box during installation. http://www.berryterminal.com/doku.php/setting_up_edubuntu_as_ltsp_server And client setup is a matter of extracting berryterminal.zip to an empty SD card, and sticking it in the Pi.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] LTSP with Raspberry Pi as thin client
Many thanks to all who have replied to my question. I have finally managed
to set up RPi as a thin client, it works quite smoothly. I have followed
the tutorial written by Harry Lavender (
http://www.uzerp.com/blog/running-raspberry-pis-as-thin-clients-with-ubuntu-14-04-lts/),
but with ubuntu-12.04.5-server-amd64, as Floris Bos suggested.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] LTSP with Raspberry Pi as thin client
Regarding available inexpensive x86 clients as an alternative to trying the RPi, I bought used HP dc7900 USDT's (ultra small desktop) for our lab via Ebay. It may not be a universal solution, but given that we had monitors, keyboards, and mice, it worked for us. These generally have Core 2 Duo processors. Many sell without hard drives, which is perfect for an LTSP installation. Make sure to get power adapters. We spent about $80 each, as I recall. (I see them for $67.50 now.) They are a nice size, and use a lot less power than the P4 clients we had. steve -- Want excitement? Manually upgrade your production database.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] LTSP with Raspberry Pi as thin client
Hello, I recently wrote a guide on how to install LTSP and BerryTerminal from scratch, meaning you can use the Pi as a fully functioning thin client: http://www.uzerp.com/blog/running-raspberry-pis-as-thin-clients-with-ubuntu-14-04-lts/ This version doesn't use raspbian, unlike LTSP-Pi.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] LTSP with Raspberry Pi as thin client
@Asmo Thanks, this looks like a walkaround to my problem, but maybe I will use remoteapps. @Vagrant Well, my feeling exactly. I think I would rather get some x86 terminal dedicated to this kind of operations. However, I found very few terminals available on market, all of them extremely expensive (for example http://www.disklessworkstations.com/1700-series-thin-clients.html#buy - for this price I can build a standalone PC, not just a terminal). If someone know where to buy some good and relatively cheap x86 terminals, please let me know.

[Ltsp-discuss] LTSP with Raspberry Pi as thin client
Hi, Please tell me, has anyone really succeeded in configuring RPi as an LTSP thin client? I have already read all sort of tutorials, discussions and reported problems (including http://cascadia.debian.net/~vagrant/rpi-ltsp-howto.txt) and I have tried to do as suggested. Unfortunately, I am unable to run RPi as a thin client. The only thing I accomplished so far is installing Edubuntu 12 on VmWare along with LTSP and connect to it using Berryterminal on RPi. However, X session does not start, I am only able to run so called FailSafeTerminal (probably because there is no armhf chroot on server). I have tried to crosscompile armhf client using ltsp-build-client script on Edubuntu 12, Ubuntu 14, Debian 7, as well as I have tried to do it on target RPi. In each case script throws big amount of errors. The moment I write some workaround for one, I need to face another. I do not post error logs here right now, because there is no use fixing them one by one. If somebody really have managed to configure RPi as a thin client, please tell me, how have you done it, with as much details as possible. I need this RPis for new classroom in primary school, this will allow me to spare a lot of public money, which in other case will have to be spent for expensiv x86 terminal.
