I'd like to give a presentation at IF2 on installing and configuring a
Linux Terminal Server. I'll pull pieces from my presentation a couple
months ago on Migrating Business Desktops to Linux and I'll give a live
demonstation of using a Linux Terminal Server. In addition, people can
bring their own equipment and I'll help them configure their own LTS.
They'll need a box to act as the server with two NICs, a box to act as the
client with one NIC, and straight-through and cross-over cables (or a hub
and three straight-through cables).
>From my direct experience with Linux Terminal Servers in a business
environment, a lot of money can be saved by utilizing "obsolete" hardware,
as well as greatly simplifying software administration for multiple users.
Here are a couple relevant links to whet your appetite: ;-)
