Development and Administration of the Linux Terminal Server Project -
Jason Straw
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP), has a mission to provide all
of the installation and administration tools necessary for deploying
thin clients in a GNU/Linux environment.

The LTSP software is in use all over the world in businesses and
schools. The core package has been downloaded by over 80,000 people and
the documentation has been downloaded more than 100,000 times since we
started the project in August of 1999.

Whether you are setting up a 2nd workstation at home for your kids to
use, installing 5 workstations in a Dental office for bookkeeping,
deploying 50 workstations in a Cyber Cafe, or installing 500
workstations at a major university or corporation, the LTSP will help
guide you through the challenges that await you.

The presentation will cover all aspects of setting up LTSP and diskless
thin clients. From building workstations to boot off the network to NFS,
X, Window managers and applications.

There will be copies of K12ltsp or a new ltsp distro looking toward the
consumer market(maybe, just maybe Jason will do that...)

Presenter

The October Presenter is Jason Straw, Jason is a Student System
Administrator at Yorktown High School. He has been involved with LTSP
for about 8 months now, starting with K12ltsp's first release through
the release of 2.09pre2. He also is the Meetings Coordinator for the
Yorktown High School Linux Users' Group.
