eWeek Lab review of supported LTSP model


Some of you might find this interesting... note the review
linked within the article. (from 5/30/05 issue- wish I could post a link...excerpt below)

Obviously, most people who frequent this board have the technical aptitude to configure and support their own LTSP network...but for those that don't have the time, or would prefer to have a "throat to choke" vendor supporting them, it is a very inexpensive, time-saving option. (and it WORKS...out of the box...go figure...)
---------------
"However, getting LTSP to work with a company's installed applications is tricky because it requires Linux know-how. In addition, the lack of official technical support might deter companies that don't have a dedicated Linux-savvy staff.

Companies that decide to move to Linux thin-client computing to save money must keep in mind that some legacy applications won't be compatible with LTSP right off the bat, and most Microsoft Corp. applications are not compatible with LTSP.

That's where third-party companies such as SafeDesk Solutions come in. With the right tools, getting an LTSP thin client up and running doesn't take a long time and is cost-effective. However, companies running applications that are not natively compatible with LTSP (such as Microsoft's Office) will have to spend more time on deployment.

SafeDesk's SafeDesk Server 1.8, reviewed here, provides an integrated LTSP solution using Novell Inc.'s SuSE Linux distributions. The company also provides thin clients, bootable NICs and technical support, helping customers piece together their application compatibility puzzle."
