That actually makes things a bit simpler, so far as package distribution goes.<div><br></div><div>With LTSP, installing something on the master node should propagate to the clients. I'm not familiar with running LTPS specifically, but there should be some way of doing this. A *really* quick scan of the LTSP docs indicates that the clients use a chroot envrionment, so installing something into that chroot should be the same as pushing it to the clients.</div><div><br></div><div>I'll note, however, that the usual package management rules don't apply so well in circumstances like this. So while all the mumbo-jumbo in my other email is valid, it may not apply in your case.<br><br>-- <br>

I was sitting here wondering how in the world you implement reliable<br>
file transfers over multicast.<br>

Clever! Good stuff!<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Wow. Ton of good stuff here. Thanks for everyone's responses. FYI, I'm doing this research for a project at FreeGeek Chicago. We're trying to get a good 10-12 station lab going. We're considering LTSP, just so we don't have to manage a dozen boxes, but we probably won't be able to get a server that's beefy enough, so we're looking at all options. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Any additional thoughts anyone has on this would be greatly appreciated. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>
