Tip: Linux Terminal Server Project

Saturday, 17 July 2004

Linux is an excellent environment for deploying diskless thin clients. Whether you are installing a 2nd workstation at home, 50 workstations in a CyberCafe or 500 workstations in a major university or corporation, the LTSP can help you be successful.

LTSP is an add-on package for Linux that allows you to connect lots of low-powered thin client terminals to a Linux server. Applications typically run on the server, and accept input and display their output on the thin client display.

My laptop display resolution wasn't configured by default, so I had to edit the xorg.conf file and correctly specify the 1920x1200 resolution at all color depths. Plus, Slackware doesn't come with binary driver support for ATI or nVidia graphics cards but you can easily add them by downloading the latest version and following the install directions for whichever card you have. The Open Addict DELL XPS M170 test laptop comes with a nVidia card, so I grabbed the latest drivers from nvidia.com and installed from that point. No big deal there. [Open Addict]
