[02:18] <phpstar> hello everyone :)
[02:18] <phpstar> i have one quick Q
[02:18] <phpstar> can i use LTSP to deploy Win XP image on thin clients ??
[02:19] <nubae> no
[02:19] <phpstar> oh ok
[02:20] <nubae> u can, however connect via rdp to a remote desktop session on a windows server
[02:20] <nubae> which is kinda the same thing
[02:20] <phpstar> yes but i hate viruses
[02:20] <phpstar> we have 20 thin clients in christian school
[02:20] <nubae> then dont use windows
[02:20] <phpstar> but u said i cant use LTSP to deploy Win XP
[02:21] <nubae> right, dont use windows
[02:21] <nubae> deploy linux
[02:22] <phpstar> actually management only like to have WIn XP so kids can play etc
[02:22] <nubae> well there are many options there
[02:22] <nubae> u can set up a virtual image with windows in it
[02:22] <phpstar> in linux ??
[02:22] <nubae> u can set up crossover
[02:22] <nubae> or u can setup wine
[02:22] <nubae> yes
[02:22] <nubae> in linux... virtualbox would be good for example...
[02:22] <phpstar> or vmware ??
[02:22] <nubae> they wouldnt even know linux was running underneath
[02:22] <nubae> yep, any of them
[02:22] <phpstar> but
[02:22] <nubae> vmware has fewer options than virtualbox
[02:22] <phpstar> can vmware deploy XP image over network ??
[02:23] <nubae> virtualbox is supported by Sun
[02:23] <phpstar> or virtual box
[02:23] <nubae> well u dont need to
[02:23] <nubae> u are using ltsp to do that
[02:23] <phpstar> yes
[02:23] <nubae> greets RichEd
[02:23] <nubae> u're up early... or late
[02:23] <phpstar> right now i have to maintain every OC
[02:24] <phpstar> PC
[02:24] <nubae> yeah a pain... LTSP can take the stress off quickly
[02:24] <phpstar> so i was looking option to deploy win xp image on all clients though network
[02:24] <phpstar> but LTSP cant deploy Win XP right
[02:26] <nubae> not directly, no
[02:26] <nubae> u could use drbl and clonezilla to clone machines for windows
[02:26] <nubae> but LTSP is really the best solution
[02:26] <nubae> usually its only some programs they want for windows
[02:27] <nubae> and for that u could run crossover or wine
[02:37] <phpstar> thx nubae
[15:51] <sbalneav> Morning all
[16:17] <nothingman> g'mornin', Scott!
[16:19] <nubae> afternoon folks
[17:16] <Ahmuck> hi nubae
[17:19] <nubae> hi Ahmuck
[17:53] <nothingman> nubae: the sources.list in your fat client chroot has two hardy lines and one intrepid; could this be the problem I'm having?
[17:54] <nothingman> do I need to specify the exact packages unless I'm running intrepid already?
[17:58] <nubae> which hardy lines?
[17:59] <nubae> there shoudl be none
[17:59] <nothingman> archive and security
[17:59] <nubae> when did u last download the file?
[17:59] <nothingman> I'm running Hardy on my server
[17:59] <nothingman> I installed edubuntu on top
[18:00] <nubae> welll, like I have stated cuntless times bfore, it does not work on hardy andI have no intentino of workion tjhat
[18:00] <nubae> countless
[18:01] <nubae> not cuntless :-)
[18:01] <Ahmuck> nubae, did you dump the hardy script?
[18:01] <Ahmuck> or was in thever there?
[18:01] <nubae> yes months ago
[18:01] <Ahmuck> ah
[18:03] <nothingman> oh, OK
[18:03] <nothingman> sorry to bother you
[18:03] <nothingman> I hadn't realized it had come up before
[18:03] <nubae> and the current script has no mnetionof hardy
[18:03] <Ahmuck> any reason u've decided not to use intrepid?
[18:03] <nubae> u must be trying the old sript
[18:04] <nubae> Ahmuck,I'm ONLY using ingrepid
[18:04] <nothingman> I'm on my laptop which I'm using as the server because the school doesn't have much hardware to spare
[18:04] <nubae> nothingman: no bother... just try and follow the instructions and install intrepid version from scratch
[18:05] <nothingman> and it has nvidia graphics which I understand are a pain under Intrepid
[18:06] <nothingman> I guess nvidia's binary isn't working under it yet
[18:10] <nothingman> *sigh* not that I have much time for games, really; horrible excuse not to have a working server at my command
[18:10] <Ahmuck> i've never heard of ingrepid
[18:10] <Ahmuck> :)
[18:10] <Ahmuck> nubae has lazy finger this morning
[18:12] <Ahmuck> nothingman: don't use anything for graphics, start with generic, and them move up
[18:52] <nubae> Ahmuck, yeah typing too fast for my own good
[18:52] <nubae> 6 irc channels open
[18:52] <nubae> nothingman: there is no problem with nvidia and intrepid
[18:52] <nubae> I have a high end nvidia that causes me no issues at all
[18:53] <nubae> And I advise against what Ahmuck is saying there (sorry bud), I would begin with the actual recommended closed source driver
[19:29] <nothingman> thx for the help, both!
[23:38] <Ahmuck_Jr> nubae, the actual nvidia driver causes my server to become unbootable
