I have not used Fedora for a wee while. Someone else who is currently familiar should be able to help. vinref (6194)
347879 2005-04-29 12:52:00 According to this article (www.computerworld.com.au), Ubuntu is teaming up with the LTSP. Watch this space. vinref (6194)
347880 2005-04-29 13:08:00 IMO, Ubuntu is still a bit raw to be using in a business environment, if that's the case. Plenty of CD's kicking around at the mo though, have 10 myself. Murray P (44)
347881 2005-04-29 13:11:00 Yeah, I reckon all *nixes in their out-of-the-box state would not be suitable for business uses. But with the right admin (not common or cheap), many *nixes will more than do. vinref (6194)
347882 2005-04-30 02:39:00 Which CDs' should I download Vinref? I know that sometimes CD3 and CD4 are extra programs and packages that aren't needed for the core installation. But ltsp is probably one of those 'extras'


I wouldn't download whole CD images to get one package.:) I would "ltsp download" to Google and follow my nose.

Not really familiar with the Linux environment Graham. I didn't even think it was possible to download it as a seperate package.

OF course, when I think about it, it's blazingly obvious that you can. Conceptually it is the same as downloading a new program, such as Firefox...

Sigh.

347884 2005-04-30 10:35:00 This (news.bbc.co.uk) is why Ubuntu is so interested in LTSP. Good on them I say. Lots of hot air has been blown over IT for the third world masses, but the Ubuntu people are the only ones looking seriously into it. I really respect the folks there at Ubuntu. vinref (6194)
347885 2005-05-07 14:57:00 This is probably a quicker way of doing things - PXES Linux (http://pxes.sourceforge.net/). vinref (6194)
