Its really a commendable work. Is fedora-11 used as LTSP server?
Yes, Fedora-11 was used as LTSP Server.
Could you please share more details, on any special hardware used and the
software running in thin client ?
Initially it was planned to setup with a single Quad-Core based XEON Server
with 4 GB for 60 machines. but later
I had suggested that, 2 Core-2 Duo PCs can be used for connecting 30 machines
each.
Now, 2 servers (Core-2 Duo, 2 GB RAM, 160 GB SATA HDD) was setup using two DHCP
servers without
using range options (Thanks to Mr. Raman for the DHCP suggestions and all 60
thinclients, were now
based on reservation in DHCP).
The entire Fedora-11 for i386 Everything Repository with rpmfusion was setup on
both the server for their future applications needs (Nearly 14,000+ rpm
packages) and also YUMEX was configured to install the applications
graphically and the technical staffs are trained to manage the entire
Thinclient setup.
Applicatins used: Codeblocks with GCC, Firefox, OpenOffice.org.
Now, the management wants to have a similar setup in their boys and girls
hostel for totally 60 machines.
