Excellent Article at Heise on LTSP at Robert Pogson

see TFA.

TFA is concise, well-written and gives tons of links to further information about LTSP, the Linux Terminal Server Project, which is a great solution for extending the power of a newer PC or server and for centrally managing PCs at home, school or in business.

I first used LTSP in 2003 as implemented in the distro, K12LTSP. The LTSP team, and several distros have turned this combination of x-window-system, DHCP/BootP/TFTP/NFS into a means of booting diskless clients. This saves thousands of dollars in capital costs for even a small installation and lightens the load on the system administrator by a large factor.

My Mission

My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.

My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.

I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.
