What is the Linux® terminal server project?

Project Server Terminal Server Linux® is an open source project that allows many clients to use the same application server. Clients can connect to a server with cheap older machines and thin client computers also known as x terminals. Linux® and Microsoft Windows® application servers are supported. The Linux Terminal server project uses many schools to ensure cheap access to a computer with machines that could otherwise be discarded. It is also known as LTSP, often used by libraries, training equipment and some internet cafes. These often without Disch, thin clients are generally cheaper than standard desktops. The older desktop system, which has reached the end of his life as a separate machine, usually has a lot of computing power to function as a thin client. LTSP is very popular with schools and trains centers that often have excess aging machines that would otherwise be destroyed. A large number of thin clients can use a singleLinux® server usually makes LTSP very cost -effective.

LTSP settings on a network server are usually simple and include simple Linux® configuration, which includes the X environment. When the thin client emerges, Linux® can introduce Linux® from a local peripheral device. If it does not have a hard drive or other boot device, the client can start from the Linux® Terminal Server project throughout the network. In this case, it uses a dynamic host protocol (DHCP) to determine its own internet protocol (IP) (DHCP). The client also gets an IP address and a path to the LTSP server.

6ystem (NFS). They are also supported by a network block device (NBD). Linux is then loaded from the file mounted system, the X system is running and the client connects to the logged LTSP application. All other applications are running on the server, even when they are displayed on a thin client.

Several Linux® distributionsIt includes the Linux® Terminal Server project as part of their software volume. The organization in Canada created a control system around the LTSP, which manages thousands of clients and launches it as a cluster balanced load. Virtual desktop computers can use this system with a very small bandwidth. LTSP also includes free technical support and works with a large number of network adapters and thin client systems.
