LTSP meets Ubuntu
Matt Zimmerman, Oliver Grawert, and others have put a lot of work into integrating LTSP into Ubuntu, and creating a new flavor of Ubuntu called edubuntu. And this week Jim McQuillan, Oliver, and a bunch of other folks have cut the boot time of a Ubuntu LTSP in half, and come up with a bunch of other improvements.
And today the LTSP conference is officially getting started. Already even before the conference got started officially, there has been lots of cool stuff going on with local sound, support for local USB devices, an easy to use gui based network PXE boot manager, etc.
Jim says “By this time next year, Ubuntu will have touched more people with LTSP than we have up to this point.” So it looks like 2006 will be an even bigger year for LTSP than 2005 — and 2005 was a great year, with first ever distro integration, best in show at Linux World, and a lot of cool stuff.
