LTSP(Linux Terminal Server Project)是著名的Linux终端服务器项目。
The Linux Terminal Server Project adds thin client support to Linux servers. LTSP is a flexible, cost effective solution that is empowering schools, businesses, and organizations all over the world to easily install and deploy thin clients.
New thin clients and legacy PCs alike can be used to browse the web, send e-mail, create documents, and run other desktop applications.
LTSP not only improves Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), but more importantly, provides increased value over traditional computing solutions.
LTSP workstations can run applications from Linux and Windows servers. Linux based thin clients have proven to be extremely reliable because tampering and viruses are virtually non-existent.
Features
1. Reduced Costs
In an LTSP thin client environment, all software for workstations originates on the LTSP server. Whether you are repurposing old desktop PCs or deploying new thin client devices, LTSP can be a key component in reducing the costs related to your computing environment.
2. No Licensing Fees
LTSP is open source software, released under the GPLv2 License. There is no cost to download and use LTSP. Benefitting from LTSP? Consider contributing to the project.
3. Less Maintenance Required
LTSP allows you to maintain your entire computer network from a single point of control; from the operating system image on the thin clients through user authentication and file storage. By reducing your software footprint with LTSP, maintenance and support obligations are reduced when compared to traditional desktop PC computing solutions.
4. Secure
Security has become a key challenge for administrators. LTSP thin client connections can be secured via SSH and are restricted to a LAN, ensuring that you are operating a manageable and safe computing environment. The LTSP model also makes it increasingly challenging for your systems to be a victim of viruses and spyware.
5. Community
The LTSP community has been active since 1999. Fueled by participation and experimentation, LTSP users have deployed LTSP in every imaginable scenario possible; from running an irrigation system to offering their company a thin client computing solution to replace desktop PCs. However you choose to LTSP, contributing back to the community is sure to improve your experience.
