The Safedesk Terminal Server Project

I would like to invite you to run a blurb on our newly released open
source project, Safedesk Terminal Server Project[1], and to celebrate
its create, our first release is now available on our FTP servers[2].
STS is a new open source project to develop a Linux thin-client server
based on Debian Live Net[3]. This is the first Linux terminal server to
offer local USB storage, sound and streaming video support and the
design allows one server with a gigabit port to serve as many as 100+
clients at a time. This release contains a full GNOME-based desktop with
OpenOffice, OpenClipart, GIMP, Inkscape, GAIM, and F-Spot plus the usual
GNOME applications. It can be fully customize including the installation
of KDE.

STS differs from LTSP (Linux Terminal Server Project) in that it
supports local USB drives, sound and streaming video and uses Samba CIFS
instead of NFS for more reliability (while also requiring a slightly
more robust thin client.) Information on the implementation, how to get
involved, and where to get commercial support is on the Safedesk
Terminal Server project pages linked to above. We would like to invite
the FOSS community to participate in making STS an even greater
thin-client server solution. We are 100% committed to keeping it free
and open source. We see STS as complementing LTSP -- not competing with
it -- in environments where thin clients have more resources.

We will also be releasing an Enterprise version of STS that features a
user-friendly installer and GUI management tool, and support for
virtualizing Windows 98, 2000 or XP on the client. Support is available
for both.

If you are interested in running something, just let me know. I'd be
happy to work with you.

Thank you!
