I mean boot the thinclients from fedora ltsp server (k12linux) and connect automatically to the redhat5 server. Is this a good idea? I could also use http://en.opensuse.org/LTSP/Other_Distros#CentOS but then local sound and usb sticks will not work Can I have your advise? Roland -- Roland Brouwers C.A.T.

So, what you mean is that the fedora installation will be used as login-server and present me his home desktop and applications? And CentOS will be used as a dataserver through Samba and nfs.

I will try to install it. The only question left is a question of speed. The main OS will be CentOS 5.4. then Vmware server virtual client fedora 11 Because the application will be run by fedora it could be much slower, compared to an installation within CentOS.
