I've been looking into things like k12ltsp as a way of providing thin
clients in what has the potential to become a 2nd IT room, still early
days yet.
In the meantime, I'd like to experiment with graphical access from my
win98 workstations to the suse 9.1 server, or a planned k12ltsp
application server.
VNC seems the easiest, but whilst it's OK for my remote management I
fear the bandwidth would be problematic if we try to run a class session
that way, yes? I'd prefer to do this through ssh, but we can leave that
for the time being if that's a step too far!
X/cygwin seems the way to go, but I see a couple of problems,
1) what config settings do I need on the SuSE box to get it to talk to
the new x servers,
2) which of the vast number of cygwin packages do I need to install on
my clients?
I recall Michael Brown of Fen Systems putting together some zip file to
do this, but can't find this anymore.
