You don't need Etherboot for Sparcs.
With small Gigabit switches coming down below $100 and eepro 1000 cards
at $49 it's possible to think about Gigabit in SOHO applications.
When does the extra speed begin to be felt in LTSP applications? Only in
larger networks, or would it also help small networks that run
heavyweight desktops?

As I said, we have Sparc's. If we have to replace them by PC's we won't

Can etherboot work on a Sparc?

A cheap 2mb ati video card fixed the flickering problem. But the card is
a Rage 3d II and it apparently is not supported by the X4.1 --only back
in the 3.3. series.
Lack of DCC in Xfree 3.3.6 is still a pain. Is there a way to upgrade
the XFree86 version in LTSP-3.0 to the most current release ?

I played with xvidtune and although there was a lot of play in the
settings, and I was able to ameliorate the bad size/fit of the display,
it didn't affect the ghosting/flickering thing. Also I tried another

I am moving my production environment to a new server. I am
stumped on moving the print queues. In the 'olden days' all it took was to
copy /var/spool/lpd tree, and presto! - all the printers were there. I am
running RH9 with LPRng on both servers and I'm too lazy to reenter 90
If you use the latest kernel; check the path in /opt/ltsp/; it must be the
same as the on configured in dhcpd.conf at the line filename for each host.

S3? No problem! I am using them at 800x600 for about 3 years now.
However, most of the older S3 models simply don't have room for more

I must say that trying to figure out LTSP has been an exercise in

anecdotal, un-professional, they display poorly on Mozilla and are
difficult to read.
