The Linux Terminal Server Project adds thin-client support to Linux servers. LTSP is a flexible, cost effective solution that is used by schools, businesses, and organizations all over the world to install and deploy desktop workstations. A growing number of Linux distributions include LTSP out-of-the-box. New thin-clients and legacy PCs alike can be used to browse the Web, send e-mail, create documents, and run other desktop applications. LTSP not only improves Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), but more importantly, provides increased value over traditional computing solutions. LTSP workstations can run applications from Linux and Windows servers. Linux thin-clients have proven to be extremely reliable because tampering and viruses are virtually non-existent.
We think that LTSP is worth considering for a range of solutions, from Cybercafes to major site wide installations.
