Hi all,

LTSP for IT@SCHOOL GNU/Linux

We have got the HCL winbee thin client setup made working on customozed Debian installation for IT@SCHOOL. Few schools in Kannur are using HCL winbee thin client setup by the company. The schools faced problem when they wanted to install Debian customozed IT@SCHOOL GNN/Linux system. There was no proper support from local company vendor who installed the machines. HCL thin client uses a proprietory OS and the bios setup was password protected. There was no details given about the client server setup configuration. The server was based on Redhat 9.

After lots of struggle, I could replace the Redhat9.0 system with customized debian installation. After few teakings, the winbee client machines can now communicate over XDMCP to the server, get the workstation loging prompt and the system is working good.

We can now run LTSP on IT@SCHOOL GNU/Linux setup. Few more schools using LTSP on earlier versions of Redhat8 has been now upgraded to Debian. All school installation now have Debain customized for IT@SCHOOL.
