Re: [Ltsp-discuss] LTSP and Gaming

I would expect Freeciv (which is probably already installed in the K12LTSP install as I think it's included in the default install of Redhat) to work just fine in an LTSP environment. I don't know if other distributions include it by default. I'd expect that Mandrake would. In Debian, it's prob

Hmm, found this on the www.xfree86.org website: http://www.xfree86.org/4.2.0/Status9.html Looks like the 5426 chipset is supported in Xfree86 3.3.6 by the 'cirrus' driver. It also looks like the 5426 chipset isn't supported in Xfree86 4.2.0. Do you know which version you're using? Jeff On F

I believe this has been covered before, so a quick search of the archive may prove useful. Regardless, a company called Codeweavers (www.codeweavers.com) makes a product called CrossOver Office: http://www.codeweavers.com/products/office/ which may prove useful. I have not tried to use

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Forwarding dhcp request

2002-09-24 Thread jeffr
It certainly is possible to use a single DHCP server to serve multiple networks or network subnets, but keep in mind that it would need to serve a different IP address space to each subnet and/or network. The DHCP server needs to be able to tell which subnet the request is coming from, so it kno

RE: [Ltsp-discuss] Forwarding dhcp request

2002-09-24 Thread jeffr
The problem is the differing networks. Let's abstact this a bit... Say you've got two physical networks, network1 that uses 192.168.1.x, and network2 that uses 10.0.0.x. You've got a DHCP server on both, which serve their respective IP address spaces. It looks like you want the DHCP server on

Um, correct me if I'm wrong (and I very well may be), but isn't the bandwidth with bluetooth significantly smaller than what would be practical to run a graphical terminal over? I seem to recall bluetooth being marketed as a means of creating a 'personal network' so that your cell phone can comm

On Redhat 7.1 (which by default uses the ext2 non-journaled filesystem) it will indeed automatically run fsck upon the first boot after a power loss. However, if there are serious filesystem errors, the system won't boot and will instead sit there waiting for root to come along and manually fsck

Please note that I haven't tried this, but it's something I've been thinking about for a little while now. If you've got multiple servers that you want to turn into a cluster to act as one large LTSP server, and are more worried about scaling the processing and storage capabilities for load bala

If I understand correctly, the Win2k Pro OS has a RDP client license 'built-in' and you don't need to seperately purchase client licenses on the server end. However, using any other version of windows (except possibly XP?), or any other platform (linux, mac, etc.) you do need to purchase additio

There are a couple of motherboards that will support dual Pentium II based Celeron's (like the Abit BP6). I haven't seen one yet that will support dual Pentium III based Celerons. The BP6 however does work just fine with two of the older Celeron processors under linux (well, the stock kernel th

Take a look at: http://aggregate.org/VWLib/ It's a start at using a cluster of linux systems to drive a video wall. It is kind of limited at this point (will display static images, mpeg movies, and they've made a start at using it as an X display), but it definately looks promising. Jeff On

Yes, the Citrix client connects to the Citrix server. However, I think the question is, in the LTSP environment, should the Citrix CLIENT be running as a local app on the LTSP terminal, or should the Cirtix client be running on the LTSP server and just displaying on the LTSP terminal. I've foun

An even more expensive solution would be to run a Citrix Metaframe server (which has a linux client). With the massive and ever growing number of licenses required for Metaframe it would probably be cheaper to by new Windows workstations though. Jeff On Fri, 12 Oct 2001 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrot
