It has been clear for some time now that LTSP is dead. There is no interest=
=20
in supporting it and keeping it current.=20
I can strongly recommend Thinlinc from http://www.cendio.com. Although this=
is a commercial=20
package, the free download allows up to 10 concurrent sessions at a time. Y=
ou do=20
have to sign up to get the download, but it is free under these terms. The =
desktop=20
client is freely available with no restrictions.=20
* Thinlinc is very polished. It functions very well to deliver a comple=
te desktop originating from a remote server=20
* Server works out of the box on all Linux distributions I have tried (=
RHEL 6&7, Scientific Linux 6, Debian, Fedora 22)=20
* There are clients for Linux, Mac and Windows. All work well=20
* Sound works right out of the box=20
* Thinlinc does a great job of streaming multimedia=20
* persistant sessions when you disconnect and reconnect=20
* automatic resizing of the screen when you switch to a different compu=
ter=20
* Web-based client for server-end configuration=20
* traffic between client and server is encrypted=20
* Thinlinc is actively developed by Cendio, and they have good support,=
including an active discussion group.=20
I can't count the number of hours I wasted wrestling with LTSP to try to ge=
t it to work. The documentation was never up=20
to date with the software. Thinlinc has been almost completely painless.=20
For personal use, I have the Thinlinc server running on my Linux machine at=
home,=20
and on my lab servers at work. Our university also has a campus-wide licens=
e for the=20
server, which they run on RedHat 7. I use Thinlinc in all of the courses I =
teach. The client is=20
available on all campus computers, and if students want the client on their=
own computers,=20
they have no problems installing and running it. By installing one client o=
n their=20
comuter, they have access to hundreds of system-wide applications.=20
I can't speak to what it costs if you need more than 10 concurrent sessions=
.=20
