| 16:20 | <alkisg> Hello sruli
| |
| 16:29 | Robert__ has joined IRC (Robert__!0c991484@gateway/web/freenode/ip.12.153.20.132) | |
| 16:30 | <Robert__> Allo.
| |
| 16:30 | Anyone around to answer a quick question?
| |
| 16:30 | about LTSP.
| |
| 16:30 | <alkisg> Yes, ask your question...
| |
| 16:34 | <Robert__> Thx. I have a ton of wyse/dell zero clients from a vdi-in-a-box implementation that imploded.
| |
| 16:34 | Is there a way to use these to connect to a LTSP server?
| |
| 16:35 | They use HDX protocol.
| |
| 16:35 | I think it's the only option for remote protocols on them.
| |
| 16:38 | <alkisg> Zero clients in general mean "without a cpu"
| |
| 16:38 | If that's the case, no, they cannot run linux, and of course not ltsp either
| |
| 16:38 | If it's "thin clients", it's a different thing, that means that they have a local cpu, local ram to run the OS etc
| |
| 16:41 | <Robert__> Hmm. I didn't know zero client meant no CPU.
| |
| 16:42 | I didn't know the client would have to be running linux.
| |
| 16:42 | <alkisg> Well, mostly "no cpu capable of running linux", they of course would have some kind of microprocessor there
| |
| 16:42 | <Robert__> yeah.
| |
| 16:42 | <alkisg> It's "Linux Terminal Server Project", the client needs to run linux
| |
| 16:43 | <Robert__> So is it just providing a terminal interface to the clients or a linux desktop environment?
| |
| 16:43 | I guess I assumed the latter.
| |
| 16:44 | <alkisg> LTSP provides a complete desktop
| |
| 16:45 | It runs a linux distribution over the network
| |
| 16:45 | The LTSP code just configures things so that they run over the network; other than that, it's normal ubuntu or debian etc etc
| |
| 16:49 | <Robert__> Ok.
| |
| 16:50 | I'm casting around trying to find out how to make these zero clients run a browser without relying citrix xenserver anymore.
| |
| 16:50 | Thanks for the help.

| |
| 16:51 | <alkisg> Robert__: buy clients like these ^ and throw away the zero ones :)
| |
| 16:52 | <Robert__> Heh. This isn't the first time I've regretted going the zero client route.
| |
| 16:53 | That's a pretty low price point. Not a bad idea. but 100 client's later it's a big number.
| |
| 16:54 | <alkisg> If you can't make the zero clients work, at least that's one option

| 16:55 | <alkisg> LTSP is good for netbooting and centrally managing 100 clients, that otherwise would be able to run linux locally if they had disks
| |
| 16:56 | <Robert__> Indeed. Thanks for the info and help. I appreciate it.
