LTSP...
Okay now before I tear my network apart I thought I'd ask for
suggestions. Here is my situation I have about 5 desktop computers
because I got tired of doing admin work on all 5 of them currently
everyone exports a window from my computer (which has become the default
app server). However this presents a problem. 1) Everyone is forced to
use the screen resolution I have set. 2) sound is only available from my
computer. 3) can only use the DVD / CD-Rom drive on my computer. 

So what I'm thinking is I need to go with LTSP. Only the iso I see
online all have the terminal server also being the firewall / router and
I have a 486 set up for that which is doing the firewall / router thing
fine but there is no way it could run our apps. 

So the next thought is run NFS so that everyone gets the apps from the
same location. set up usernames on ldap so that I have that stored in
one central location but that everyone is running their own machine
mostly (many of these boxes have little hard drive space in them) but
that their home dir and the aps would all be comming from what is
currently the app server. 

So before I put any of this into practice anyone have any suggestions?
