[00:00] <Lns> khismetix: www.ltsp.org - thin client setup for linux
[00:00] <khismetix> ah right
[00:00] <khismetix> I must read up on that....
[00:00] <khismetix> Wow,..reminds me of the old days when I worked at Sun
[00:00] <khismetix> We were promoting something called SunRay
[00:01] <khismetix> was a very neat little stateless device which effectively was a thin client
[00:01] <khismetix> the skinniest client ever
[00:01] <Lns> ah, sunrays =) i've heard they work well with ltsp
[00:02] <khismetix> The display is X-windows based sent down the network pipe to a smart frame buffer which understands the network protocol used for rendering pipeline
[00:02] <khismetix> redirects audio too
[00:03] <khismetix> had some .. but limited USB peripheral redirection too.. and most importantly had smart card support ... so you could replicate your screen by visiting your neighbour and swapping in your smart card
[00:03] <khismetix> was a fantastic idea.. execution was a bit iffy...
[00:03] <khismetix> hard to market
[00:03] <khismetix> Anyway.. I digress....
[00:03] <khismetix> I'm guessing Ubuntu will run firefox with flash plugins
[00:04] <khismetix> I assume I'll need to download the plugins because they aren't typically bundled
[00:11] <Lns> khismetix: it should have all the plugins.. flashplugin-nonfree i think is the adobe one
[00:12] <khismetix> non free>
[00:12] <khismetix> Do you mean it's not open source
[00:12] <khismetix> or it is going to cost me ?
[00:19] <Lns> !oss
[00:19] <Lns> not you, ubottu =p
