Hi, i am trying to get local dev support up and running. My problem is, that the hostname of the client differs on client and in $DISPLAY. In the shell at the client 'hostname' returns the hostname without the domain suffix. In $DISPLAY the domain suffix is included. I use dnsmasq as dhcp server.

Hi all, I am writing a best pratice document around LTSP. I am having trouble with the section on situations where LTSP is inappropriate. I have been advocating it for so long I can't really see and disadvantages in most situations, and many I could have sighted are removed using LTSP-5.0. Wha
