| djs | I was reading http://fsmsh.com/3465 and it says "big Edubuntu deployments are based on X’s network transparency." What does that mean? Where can I find information on where Edubuntu has been officially deployed? | 19:23 |
| djs | It says deployments based on X's network transparency; from what I understand 'network transparency' is X.org server's ability to display the output on a separate monitor than where the server is running -- or something like that | 19:24 |
| djs | What are they doing with Edubuntu that requires that? Sounds cool and I'd like to read about it. | 19:24 |
| cprofitt | the issue for Edubuntu is likely LTSP | 19:25 |
| cprofitt | and iTalc | 19:25 |
| cprofitt | djs: the LTSP is a terminal server -- one 'powerful' computer can serve up many sessions to less powerful or even terminal boxes | 19:25 |
| cprofitt | iTalc may also require X | 19:26 |
| cprofitt | and that works in a normal lab environment and allows control of the workstations | 19:26 |
| djs | Does the powerful computer run multiple instances of X server? One one each session that's logged in? | 19:26 |
| cprofitt | no, I would not even think it has to run X server | 19:27 |
| cprofitt | in LTSP | 19:27 |
| cprofitt | each client needs to | 19:27 |
| cprofitt | the server just has to be able to process the applications -- which due to dependencies might require X libs on the server | 19:28 |
| cprofitt | http://www.ltsp.org/ | 19:28 |
| djs | Another good link, thanks! | 19:28 |
| cprofitt | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP | 19:29 |
| cprofitt | that is the Ubuntu specific information | 19:29 |
| djs | Dense (: | 19:29 |
