Hi, Claudio. I have some experience with LTSP and LTSP-like environments, so I can shed some light to your doubts. Memory, as you may already know, is the cheapest and most substantial upgrade you can make on your machine. The statement "the more the better", in this case, is true. I would rec

I posted this the other day, but since I see more questions on sizing here it is again. I will submit to the wiki as well. These results will give you solid CPU and memory performance data. Link to paper: http://www.lillecorp.com/support_papers.htm Thanks, Jordan -

The error about /sbin/init not found is more likely a failure to find the dynamic linker '/lib/ld-linux.so.2', which is part of glibc. The /sbin/init, and any other binaries from the /opt/ltsp/i386 tree are all needing glibc. The initrd image is built with uClibc. You'll probably need to build

I used ltsp_initrd_kit. And I added some initial files in root file system including 'sbin/init' and copied a number of files from /opt/ltsp/i386 of ltsp tools. I edited linuxrc file and erased some lines related to NFS mouning and pivot_root like below. But I could only an error written that cou

This is correct, if it has PXE, your fine. I have two that do and work with LTSP. If it does not, you don't want it. They do not have a normal bios and getting these things to work without PXE is no simple task. Avoid any models with win CE because they don't have PXE. Instead look for these part

Well, there appear to be versions of it that come with pxe boot capabilities, but they also have windows NT embedded (however they do that) so I'm not sure. i'd imagine. I say see if you can test it out. Find someplace you can get one on trial (maybe just pay for one with the option to retur
