So far I've tried quite a few and have been very disappointed with the
results. It seems that every Linux project is tryin

I've been toying with LTSP for years and it looks like I'm finally going
to get to deploy it for real. Before I do though I have two questions
that didn't get any good hits in the archives but I'm sure that
experienced LTSP'ers will no doubt have solutions.

G'day All,
I'm experiencing slow boot times. The workstation is a 233Mhz Pentium with
96Mb of Ram, a 10Mbit Tulip card and an AGP Phantom graphics card (8Mb).
Here's an example boot run with times in min:sec from power on.

Otherwise I'd put a ltsp (/opt/ltsp/i386) install on the HD (150 odd Mb) and

Kent,
I think that using LTSP can provide the solution that you are looking
for and do it in an automated fashion. Firstly however you will need to
include the ide drivers into the LTSP kernel. There was a posting on
this list recently on how to do that.
Now via the lts.conf file you can contr

Your problem is undoubtably the RAM on the clients. I think that 16M would

You mentioned that you'd set up a vmware client. I've also done

get X running and if so what server did you get to work?

Hi Jim,
When you talk about LDAP authentication is this in terms of replacing

I currently use LDAP authentication for the GDM login on the desktop,
(non-local apps). This is achieved via PAM. This is definitely the
preferred method for me as the pam_ldap module allows us to d
