Ltsp-5

LTSP-5 is a complete re-design of LTSP. It is intended to be integrated with Linux distributions, so that you won't have to download it from us. You'll only need to install the packages that your favorite distro provides for you. Unfortunately, it's going to take a while for all distros to adopt LTSP-5. Take a look at the MueKow page for more information about how it works, and look at Ltsp5 for the latest status of distros supporting it.

Ltsp-5 on Ubuntu

If you just want an easy installation of LTSP Ubuntu, you should use the Ubuntu supplied packages.

For more information, take a look at: LTSPQuickInstall on the Ubuntu wiki.

Ltsp-5 on Debian

LTSP-5 is available in Debian Etch. If you want an easy installation, you should use the Debian packages to install LTSP.

For more information, take a look at: http://wiki.debian.org/LTSP/Howto on the Debian wiki.

Ltsp-5 on Other distributions

Our goal is for all distros to provide LTSP integration. We realize, however, that it will take a while for that to actually happen. So, in the meantime, we're happy to provide tarballs containing the LTSP-5 tree from some of the distros who do currently support LTSP-5. You can take one of these tarballs and drop them on to your favorite distro, and serve them up to your thin clients.

For example, if you really wanted LTSP-5 on Fedora, you could take the Ubuntu_6.10_i386 tarball, and install it into the /opt directory of your Fedora server. Keep in mind that while your server is running Fedora, the thin clients would be executing Ubuntu bits. Once the user logs in, however, they'd be getting a session on the Fedora server and everything would look like Fedora to them. Seems kind of mind-warping, doesn't it?

It's also possible that you could use one of these tarballs to let you install a newer release of LTSP-5 onto an older release of your distro. This could happen, perhaps if you wanted the newer functionality of the LTSP-5 in Ubuntu-feisty, but your server was Ubuntu Dapper. Since Ubuntu isn't backporting their newer LTSP features into older Ubuntu releases, you could make it happen with our tarballs.

These tarballs are really meant to get us through this transitional period while we get all of the distros to integrate LTSP. We encourage you to give them a try, but also you should try to convince your favorite distro that they should be integrating LTSP functionality right into their system. Send them an email or file a bug report on their system to let them know that you'd like LTSP included.

LTSP-5 Tarball Installation Instructions

Ltsp-4.2

LTSP-4.2 is installed by running the ltspadmin tool that is part of the ltsp-utils package.

See: LTSP-42 for more info.

ltsp-utils

Debian / Ubuntu ltsp-utils_0.25_all.deb
Redhat/Fedora ltsp-utils-0.25-0.noarch.rpm
Slackware ltsp-utils-0.25.0-noarch-1TnA.tgz
Others ltsp-utils-0.25-0.tgz

Local Device support packages

To gain access to local devices on the thin clients, you'll need to install a package on the server.

See: LTSP-42-LocalDev for more info.

We've got several packages, you just need to pick the right one, based on which distribution of Linux you have installed.

Debian Sarge,
Debian-EDU,
Skolelinux
ltsp-server-pkg-debian_0.1_i386.deb
dpkg -i ltsp-server-pkg-debian_0.1_i386.deb
Ubuntu Breezy ltsp-server-pkg-ubuntu_0.1_i386.deb
dpkg -i ltsp-server-pkg-ubuntu_0.1_i386.deb
Fedora Core 4 ltsp-server-pkg-fedora-0.1-1.i386.rpm
rpm -i ltsp-server-pkg-fedora-0.1-1.i386.rpm
SuSE 10.0
OpenSuSE 10.0
SuSE 9.2
ltsp-server-pkg-fedora-0.1-1.i386.rpm
rpm -i ltsp-server-pkg-fedora-0.1-1.i386.rpm --nodeps

(yes, it's the same package as fedora)

Slackware 10.x ltsp-server-pkg-fedora-0.1-1.i386.rpm
rpm2tgz ltsp-server-pkg-fedora-0.1-1.i386.rpm
installpkg ltsp-server-pkg-fedora-0.1-1.i386.tgz
Others ltsp-server-pkg-static-0.1.tgz (Statically linked)
tar xzf ltsp-server-pkg-static-0.1.tgz
Then, read the README file in the ltsp-server-pkg-static-0.1 directory

LTSP ISO image

When you run ltspadmin, by default it grabs the latest packages from the LTSP repositories on the internet. For convenience, we do have an ISO image available for download, and you can configure ltspadmin to read from the ISO image rather than downloading from the net. BUT, the packages on the LTSP repository are very likely to be more current than what's on the ISO.

ltsp_kernel_kit

If you want to build your own custom kernel for LTSP-4.2, you'll need the ltsp_kernel_kit
