We're using it in Extremadura to run the web browser when flash is used and to run the vlc client when a video broadcast is launch to the classroom by the teacher. So: it's a thin client, boots like a thin client, the users login in a thin client, but for some applications, LTSP has a mechanism to run the applications in the thin client instead of running it in the server. That way we: a) avoid all the buggy/awful/bad programmed/shitty/[put any of your opinions about flash here] web pages with flash animations collapse the LTSP server cpu when they need 100% of a computer cpu b) multimedia works perfectly using broadcast with high quality videos from the ltsp server to the thin clients and the thin clients decode the streaming by themselves. Hope it's clearer now http://www.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LocalApps is an entry about them but it's not updated and it has much information about ltsp 4. I'll look for some tutorial on how using it on lTSP 5. Maybe Vagrant knows if such tutorial exists. Regards José L. P.S: There's another new kid in town: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLive/Howto/Network_Image_Server and another name is needed ;)
