The short answer is that lessdisks demands a bit more memory than LTSP, because LTSP uses swap over NFS. I've tried to set up swap over NBD on lessdisks (0.6.2c i think), and it was not working for more than 1 or 2 clients. There was a message that this might have been fixed the other day, but I've been to busy handling some flamewars to check it out :) >> LTSP has support for half thick clients today.

Will it be a part of Debian ? If I understand Jonas correctly, he hopes to get the lessdisks debian-packages upto a newer version, or am I mistaken ? The benefit from having things as a debian package (from debian - not ubuntu) is that you will get broader attention, and you will get the maintainability of debian-packages. It the packages are done right, you also will have the upgradability of debian. Right now, I think both solutions sucks when it comes to upgradablilty. I dont think it's possible to do an easy upgrade without a lot of human interactions on an LTSP-installation I dont think it's easy to upgrade from the debian version availible in Sarge (0.5.3cvs.20040906-16) to the one we have in the Skolelinux-repositories (0.6.2c), the latest that is defined from lessdisks (0.6.2d) or the experimental from upstream (0.7something) -- Finn-Arne Johansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bzz.no/ Leverandør av support på, drift og videreutvikling av Skolelinux-løsninger -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
