[Ltsp-discuss] LTSP with direct KVM connections?

[Brad Smith]

Hello all,

This system called Windows Multitouch was recently brought to my attention:

It's the same idea as LTSP, except instead of thin clients on a network,
multiple monitors/KBs/mice are connected directly to the server. I'm pretty
sure this kind of functionality has existed in *nix since the 70s, but I've
never seen it implemented in a modern context. Seems like a good approach
if you have a small number of users and limited resources for acquiring
client machines.

Has anyone done something like this with LTSP? Any idea what would be
involved?

Thanks!

Hi Brad,

It is like multiseat computers in GNU/Linux world, not thinclients.

It started as a linuxconsole project in sf in the beginning of this
century, then backstreet ruby, then MDM (Xephyr/Xnest) and then now
called multiseat with the help of udev. I have been using multiseat
computers for a long while. However it does not have administrative
interfaces as shown in the video.

However, multiseat is not upto the mark like LTSP when running
applications are concerned, fyi. If you want to know more drop a line.
