Hi there..

I’m using LTSP for a long time without any problems. But with the Ubuntu 16.04’s arrival coming I decided to move forward to new distribution. So started some beta server to get ready for production. Everything went well. It is great to see -after a long time- again how easy to set up a working LTSP System. Ubuntu now has lastest packages which makes me happy.

After updating LTSP, I decided to move further and change the some networking settings. And decided to move proxyDHCP to make my pfSense Router do the DHCP stuff, which leads to a problem because I got Two chroots, one for amd64 and one for i386. And i386 chroot got different distribution (--dist trusty) because of sis-media video graphic drivers.

Checked some forums and searched the web but I couldn’t find out how to solve this.

Anyone did something like this before?

I run LTSP since several yrs with different chroots, and since perhaps 3-4 yrs now I run it as a virtual machine. That gives me more opportunities. I wouldn't run LTSP with dnsmasq(I suppose that is what you mean with proxydhcp?)/pfsense with multiple chroots if I didn't have a LOT OF thin clients!

I think it is much more easy to use the normal isc-dhcp-server. But perhaps that is because I haven't been looking into the dnsmasq very much, but at a glance it seems complicated to me...and to use PfSense with different chroots means you need to go in and hack in the config file in PfSense, which is risky to do, because you might compromise the web interface functionality.

I also use PfSense, but that one too as a virtual machine. I use different virtual networks from PfSense, with or without dhcp, for beeing able to handle different tasks, like the thin client network.

So in my case, I need only one box for an entire small datacenter. I would really recommend this setup.
