And entry like this has absolutely zero value. + #3: Genix Info (genixinfo) (2011-08-03 22:50:16) + Michal Marek, + I mean the K12Linux about these features: + * Auto-configuration of diskless thin clients. Just plug in hardware + and set the BIOS to PXE boot, no configuration necessary to add or + replace clients. Same hardware support capability as Fedora kernel and + X.org. + * Applications like OpenOffice.org or Firefox are typically faster than + a standalone Linux desktop because they are already in memory in use by + other users. + * Sound is automatically forwarded over the network via pulseaudio. + * Composite capable hardware can use compiz over the network. + * Local Application Support + (https://fedorahosted.org/k12linux/wiki/LocalAppsSupport) + * Certain multimedia apps like Firefox, movie players, 3D applications + can be configured to run as locally on the client hardware. K12Linux + enables seemless integration of these local applications with automatic + remote home directory mounting and XDG menu integration. (Recommended + minimum 1GB RAM on the client.) + * Local Storage Devices Support + * Floppy, CD/DVD and USB storage plugged into thin clients appear on + your remote desktop. Hotplug events and the filesystem mounts are + forwarded over the network. Remote or local applications can seamlessly + use your local storage device. + https://fedorahosted.org/k12linux/wiki/Features + (https://fedorahosted.org/k12linux/wiki/Features) + Network configuration: + * We are experimenting with a unique way of handling LTSP networking by + default. LTSP5 in Fedora automatically configures itself to run on a + virtual bridge device instead of a real Ethernet interface. ifcfg- + ltspbr0 is installed by default, creating bridge ltspbr0 with a default + network of 172.31.100.0/24. This network is self-contained on the + server allowing internal testing with ltsp-vmclient if desired. + * If you want to connect real thin clients to this LTSP server, you + must add Ethernet interfaces to this virtual bridge. + * This set-up has two key benefits: + * Easier to Understand: Sysadmins only need to know to add an Ethernet + interface to ltspbr0 if they want to connect thin clients through that + interface. This requires an explicit action and it is much easier than + configuring interfaces and matching dhcpd.conf's in separate places. + * Safer: dhcpd can be explicitly limited to serve only to ltspbr0. This + reduces the chances of accidentally screwing your + home/school/work/district-wide network by becoming a rogue DHCP server. + =) + https://fedorahosted.org/k12linux/wiki/NetworkSetup + (https://fedorahosted.org/k12linux/wiki/NetworkSetup) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312693
