Even though the clients have various odd video cards, LTSP <br> automatically configures the X server on every boot, even for machines with two monitors. Printer <br> forwarding works properly in RDP (users can print from the remote Windows applications to the <br> local printer via CUPS transparently). Etherboot is an important complement to LTSP, and it allows <br> us to remove the disks from the thin clients, making them completely maintenance-free. What's <br> more, if anything goes wrong, the user can just hit the reset switch and be back up in a few <br> seconds.<br> <p> LTSP is really a terrific project that showcases all the core unix strengths, used together to good <br> effect.<br>
