This looks very promising. My only initial concern: how easy would it be to run an OS other than Linux on the server? I've been using LTSP since the 2.x days and it has always been fairly easy to make it work on the OpenBSD server we have here. I'm guessing this concern would be similar to inst

2005-02-18 Thread Daniel Ramaley
At one time i had [EMAIL PROTECTED] running on the LTSP clients. I had NFS swap enabled, so the machines already had some writeable storage. Within the NFS swap area, i created a directory for each system. So the path (from the client's perspective) was something like /tmp/swapfiles/ws001 (wher

On my setup i have very restrictive firewall rules so that the server is well protected. Then in my firewall rule set i list the clients and give them full access to all TCP and UDP ports. I don't consider it an optimal solution (better would be to only allow the specific ports that are needed,

I have compiled IceWM and am playing with it, since based on feedback from this list, it will do more of what i want than Blackbox. However, i've noticed that simple things like loading IceWM or changing the theme take a surprisingly long time (varies between 4 and 6 minutes!). Previously when

2005-02-08 Thread Daniel Ramaley
I'm setting up LTSP 4.1 to be used as web terminals running Firefox. Right now i'm using the Blackbox window manager, but i'm having trouble figuring out a way to get Firefox to start maximized. Some of the Googling i've done indicates that this is a window manager issue. Blackbox does not allo

2005-02-01 Thread Daniel Ramaley
Is there a canonical way to do local applications with LTSP 4.1? With LTSP 3 there were local_apps and local_netscape packages that made it relatively easy. I see no equivalent packages as part of LTSP 4.1. I want to get Firefox running as a local app. I've started working on it, but Firefox re
