Doable indeed. I would say NFS for home and shared directories and the rest via "cloned" LTSP servers at each location. Your biggest problem is bandwidth, so the feasibility depends on document/file size versus available bandwidth. Alberto On Thu, 2008-11-20 at 19:25 +, Ian Pascoe wrote: >

I would think that if you have an LTSP server at each site, syncing them probably wouldn't be TOO difficult a task (though I've never attempted this). My first thought would be to hack together some rsync scripts to sync up the server filesystems, but maybe ltsp-cluster has some features that d
