[K12OSN] Xserve as a LTSP server....anyone done this?

[Jim McQuillan]

David,

It should just work.

The LTSP installation tools are all written in Perl, so there's no
porting required.

You may have to enable some of the services manually, like tftp, dhcp or
nfs, but that shouldn't be all that hard.

Keep in mind tho, that your users will be running their applications on
a PPC box, so the apps will be built for PPC Linux.  That may limit the
apps that are available.
