Hi Roland, Thanks! Interesting approach and documentation! :) Seems there's support for pxe boot without the need for sd cards starting from rpi 3. Could this work with Debian Edu as well? How to do power your rpi's? Each having an individual power supply? Do you have any experiences with PoE/sh

Hi Roman, I' m using RPI 2 with 1 GB Ram as ThinClient in my DebianEdu Network and the RPI works pretty fine. All you need is a special Raspbian an the sd card, which managed the pxe boot, and everything works fine. http://rpitc.blogspot.com/ Greetings, Roland On 08.02.20 13:24, Roman Meier wro

Using Rpi's and LTSP isn't something new I think. At least that's the impression I got glancing through https://pi-ltsp.net/ and http://pinet.org.uk/. :) >> A thin client solution may >>eliminate the costs for sd cards and power supplies and maybe there can >>even be a way to switch to a Rpi Zero

I'm also looking at this from a cost perspective. A thin client solution based on Rpi's is rather affordable but may still be on the upper side for budgets in schools of third world countries. A thin client solution may eliminate the costs for sd cards and power supplies and maybe there can even be
