[K12OSN] K12LTSP across the Wan

[Stephen J. Smoogen]

In this case, you will want local servers for each location. The
bandwidth will be bogged for the boxes without NX and some other
stuff.  You should be able to keep all 4 servers in sync with each
other though using something like cfengine so the support would be
lower. How is PXE going to travel the WAN?

Only 4 weeks into my Linux experience,  I am learning as I go.  I have read about enabling X forwarding through a SSH login.  But I am afraid this will also be to slow for mass connections.
