Take a look at http://www.ltsp.org This actually might be a good place to mention that, in order to get the most out of a Capio 600-series terminal (and, I suspect, most other thin client terminals with similar specifications) you need to install and run ltspswapd on the LTSP server. When I set up this computer with F8/x86_64, I quickly discovered that all of the easily obtainable versions of ltspswapd were compiled for i386. After spending most of a day hunting around I finally found the source code for a version of ltspswapd that I could compile and install and get working on an x86_64 system. If anyone else is in the same situation, I would be happy to email you my ltsp_ltspswapd-4.2.0-0.k12ltsp.6.0.0.x86_64.rpm, which works just fine for me. The only difference between this and the "official" i386 rpm, other than the obvious fact that it's compiled for x86_64, is that you must specify the swap directory using a slightly different syntax than what you find in the documentation. Why? I have no idea. But it works. I wrote up compete instructions for how to make this work so I can send that to anyone who needs it, too. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
