What is LTSP?
• LTSP is a software add-on to Linux to create a
boot server:
– Boot desktop computers over the network; and
– Run them in a stateless fashion (requiring no storage)
• By default, LTSP is configured to:
– Run as both boot server AND application server
– Present a login screen through which users can
connect to the LTSP server and run the entire desktop
on the LTSP server.
