| 06:24 | <Emmanuel84> good morning
| |
| 06:25 | <alkisg> Good morning
| |
| 06:25 | <Emmanuel84> before investing time in learning ltsp I would like to know if I can use a client on normal laptop running windows or linux to access the ltsp server ?
| |
| 06:26 | <alkisg> LTSP is for net-booting clients in LAN environment,
| |
| 06:26 | which means, you'd normally netboot your laptop and use ltsp without touching its disk, without uninstalling windows or anything,
| |
| 06:26 | now, for "remote desktop", linux has various programs, and they're all unrelated to LTSP,
| |
| 06:27 | so the final answer is "yes, you can access the ltsp server from windows or linux using vnc, x2go, freerdp and a lot of other programs, not related to ltsp"
| |
| 06:28 | <Emmanuel84> so that's a solution I can fight for in the company I work for to have jump servers to unix like environement
| |
| 06:29 | <alkisg> You can provide more details if you want a more detailed advice
| |

| 06:31 | <Emmanuel84> we have several jump servers inside the secured zone this let us access to the production and dev servers.... I am kind of tired to pay licenses or to see project being stopped because the cost of licences are to high. I was looking for a solution to replace the terminal servers to access a linux terminal server.
| |
| 06:32 | <alkisg> I'm not sure what "jump servers" mean
| |
| 06:32 | Like, desktop proxy servers?
| |
| 06:32 | <Emmanuel84> that linux terminal server would become our main jump server to *nix servers
| |
| 06:33 | jump server is a desktop proxy yes.... a server that is between workstations and production secured servers
| |
| 06:33 | <alkisg> So, the users e.g. have windows, then they'd connect to the jump server == ltsp server, and from there to the production server == unix?
| |
| 06:33 | <Emmanuel84> or network equipment btw
| |
| 06:33 | you got it right
| |
| 06:33 | <alkisg> AFAIK it would be much more efficient to use a VPN or SSH proxy, not a desktop proxy
| |
| 06:34 | So that screen grabbing/transferring only happens once, not twice
| |
| 06:35 | In any case, if your users already have an operating system, you're NOT looking for ltsp. You're looking for a remote desktop solution like xfreerdp/xrdp, x2go, vnc etc
| |
| 06:35 | LTSP is mostly the "boot from network" part
| |
| 06:36 | <Emmanuel84> ok thank you for the clear answer... I will look into those project and see what best fit our needs
| |
| 06:37 | <alkisg> OK; if you need professional help, i'm available :)
| |
| 06:37 | Cheers
| |
| 06:38 | <Emmanuel84> just for information, I got information about the existence of ltsp in the french magazine "inside linux" :)
| |
| 06:38 | cheers
