Les,
At first, it felt like we were arguing about this, but as we go through
this, it's clear to me that we are exactly on the same page.
The beauty of using the distro pkg mgmt tools is that we can easily load
up a full system into the LTSP
Just making sure I understand what you mean by locallyyou mean pull
the app down the pipe and use the terminals resources to run the app?

Les,
A huge number of LTSP users are deploying with 486's, Pentium-I's and
Pentium-II's, with 32mb (or less). Trying to use the servers optimized
binaries just wouldn't work in that case. and at this point, we're just
not interested in having to maintain 2 different ways of doing this. 1

Totally agree here, I personally still use a lot of old 486/586
machines for my work. Forced 686 would just be bad. That brings up the
question of dealling with distro's that have basiclly abandoned the
older hardware.

Almost every day I get reports of people deploying LTSP in areas where
their only client hardware is old donated equipment, and it's NOT i686
stuff.
I'm just not willing to abandon those folks.
Jim is correct - and the people using these Pentium II machines are not
just African
Jim,
I like that idea, because in many cases my machines have the local
horsepower to do many things...in particular run Firefox and flash...that
would be my biggest thing. So far that's my achilles heel on my
systemsince Firefox and flash-plugin eats up CPU cycles like they're

Maybe we can talk Jim in to adding a CVS branch for the documents. I
also want to document this from the ground up. My biggest issue with
4.1 has been the difficulty in finding the information I needed, and
then with the LBE having to go to Jim for things that really needed to

Evan,
LTSP docs are already in cvs. Have been for quite some time.
Anybody interested in helping out with docs should join the
ltsp-translations mailing list and also check out the cvs info at the
bottom of the following page:

Frankly, I think the concept of letting the client run the apps vs the
server, or perhaps letting the client run SELECTED apps vs the server is a
really good move.
