Title

Introduction

Provide rich thin client functionality out of the box in Ubuntu

Rationale

Scope and Use Cases

  • Pre-generated thin client initrd
  • Centralized configuration and administration of clients
  • Simple server-side setup of all required services
  • Same feature set as the existing LTSP platform
  • Share hardware support infrastructure with d-i and casper

Implementation Plan

Data Preservation and Migration

Packages Affected

User Interface Requirements

Outstanding Issues

BOF Agenda

  • Client initrd
  • Client root
    • Generation (Pre-generate as for live CD, or dynamically on the server?)
    • Writability and shareability (nbd+device-mapper, unionfs, tmpfs?)
    • Autoconfiguration
    • Can we squeeze root into RAM, and only use NFS for /home?
  • Server infrastructure
    • Configuration of tftpd-hpa, dhcp3-server, nfs-kernel-server, gdm, ...
  • Centralized configuration

Pre-Work

  • Look at what SkoleLinux are doing with LTSP, and see if we can collaborate with them
