Re: Setting up a file server for a diskless X-Terminal

Somebody in the thread at some point said:

I'd expect much better performance with the ltsp approach (running only
X on the client with the desktop and apps on the faster machine) than
you would have running the 2nd machine as a workstation with everything
mounted via NFS.

Another way to come at a "Diskless" machine nowadays is just to install
Fedora on a USB stick (2GB will do fine) and use a common network
filesystem. That significantly reduces what is expected of the server
box down to just pushing files around on demand.

Updating the USB images could be a drawback if you have many boxes, but
if you have a network /home and no client-specific data on the stick,
you can just nuke the sticks with a new image now and then. There's a
bunch of ways to split the client-local -ness of the deal with the server.

With the "dual-channel" USB sticks the general client performance is
really good at no cost to the server.
