LTSP on RedHat^? Linux

Location: Northland Polytechnic, Whangarei, new Zealand.

No problems with the following setup:

RedHat^? versions: 7.2 and 9 LTSP versions: 3 and 4.0 Server: dual PIII's 800 MHz, 1.25 GB RAM, 100 Mbs NIC Workstations: PIII processors, speed from 450 to 700 MHz, Intel i810/i815 chipset. Number of workstations: 20 Once the configurations are set up correctly, the system works extremely well.

If the workstations are changed to Dell GX270, P4 at 2.6GHz, Intel i865 chipset, I cannot get a GUI on the workstations. It seems as if the i810 driver supplied with LTSP 4.0 can handle up to i845 chipsets and not beyond. I have not tried the latest version of LTSP (4.1). Will get around to that soon. These Dell workstations function extremely well as text-based screens for LTSP, a feature that I use in my teaching.

Our fix was to add a line in /etc/modprobe.conf

alias net-pf-10 off

This speeded up the process a LOT..chuck cliebow@downeast.net
