I did some searching and couldn't find any information. Well, sort of.
It looks like you can install Firefox in /opt/ltsp/i386. However, there
doesn't seem to be any way to run it. I hope I'm wrong about this.

I would like to put Firefox and flash on the thin client. Is there a way
to do that? I'll try that before I spend $$$ on extra hardware.

I need sound support. I think most of the sound will be in Firefox but

I've got Ubuntu Dapper setup as an LTSP server. I installed the package
ltsp-server-standalone. I think that's LTSP version 5. I could be wrong.
My thin client boots fine. My next goal is getting local hardware

1. Sound
2. USB ( for drives )

Which one do I install?
I'm on Ubuntu dapper. I may try Edubuntu. They both have LTSP as a
package but it doesn't support some of the features I need.
1. Audio on the thin client
2. hardware access on the thin client
1. CD
2. USB drive

Does anyone know if Ubuntu Edgy supports local hardware and sound?
I like Dapper for its long term support but I was told it doesn't

My thinking is etherboot. If I use old computers as thin clients I can
