[FreeNX-kNX] Trying to understand the thing

[Doug Burks]

Hi Peter,

I wish that I could take credit for the RedHat RPMs, but they were
actually created by Rick Stout:

Keep in mind that I have no experience with LTSP, but I believe you
have two options:

1)  Use a prebuilt thin-client OS that includes NX client
One example is PXES:
http://pxes.sourceforge.net/
Another is ThinStation:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/thinstation/

2)  Leverage your existing LTSP thin-client setup
Install NoMachine's Linux nxclient on your LTSP server:
http://www.nomachine.com/download.php
Your thin clients would then network boot, pull nxclient, and use your
"screen script" to execute nxclient and connect to your LTSP server. 
You can find the options you need in your screen script by executing
"/usr/NX/bin/nxclient --help".

Does anybody have any other ideas?

Doug
