Anyone know what they are? LTSP at least you get to run the remotes over ethernet with a local graphics card, and you can put them within reason anywhere you want. Here it seems you have to have multiple cards and long VGA cables, and long is not very. (a) it limits placement (b) it gets expensive. Guess you have to have a base station for LTSP, but you can do with old P3s with no disks for very little money. Is this the whole story? If so, why does anyone buy it? |

If you'd have read the article...you'd see that there is: 1 COMPUTER 10 Monitors 10 Desktops Now do you see how it differs from LTSP? LTSP would require 10 computers with RAM. This is very innovative software. I'd like to see it work. Actually reading the article helps much. |

Actually this is old, at least in concept, my first client had a similar setup in the DOS world where one box ran several different users. It was tight, and might have topped out at about three users for the disc and memory they had in their office. I remember it being Nothern(something or other), I was doing custom coding of database and reporting. It was not much fun at all. [Late eighties] |

TxtEdMacs, As long as you didn't tight roll your jeans then you were fine. Database guys thinking they're in style *shudder* ;) |
