hey my first post!
i stumbled across this forum whilst browsing the web for info on various things, and u lot seem a rather intelligent bunch!!
i had a quick search and couldn't seem to find anything, so thought i would make a new thread.
right, back to topic
i would like to install a Ubuntu (or similar) server for a small LAN that i admin at the mo, and would like rather a lot of help.
i would like the server to allow people to connect to it from any of the machines on the network, and always get the same stuff from their login. i.e. i want thin clients. i have come across something called LTSP (linux terminal server package or summat) and i think this may be related, but i really don't know what i'm doing.
basically, i don't know how to install the operating system on the client machines so that they can login to the server. i also don't know how to configure the server properly so that they can connect.
i am rather new to linux as a whole and don't know a great deal about it, so any help you can offer would be very much appreciated.
if anyone knows of a place where i can get a simple tutorial that will explain it to me in a way that i can understand with my very basic knowledge of linux, that would be awesome.
if anyone fancies writing me one themselves, i would be over the moon!!
ta in advance for any help guys.
Tom.
