In addition, depending on your thin client solution, if you start tracd locally on your thin client (the actual binary file is on the server, but the process runs on the local CPU), then it is of course local and you can use the default port number for each student. This method of starting applications is available in the LTSP thin client solution, and it might/should be available in other solutions. /L > On 12/13/06, Todd O'Bryan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> This is going to sound like an odd question, but I'm hoping people will >> have some ideas. >> >> I teach CS in a high school, and next semester my lab is going to be >> replaced with a thin client lab running on Ubuntu.
