Hello all, I have a customer that insists of using upstream vendor's diskless (system-config-netboot) rather than LTSP. The reason is that he wants to use a 100% packages from the vendor, not from LTSP or any other party.
I try the vendor's diskless system, and although it's very simple to setup, it lacks the support and/or documentation whereas LTSP is very good in it. Another sample is that he wants to connect a scanner to the client, I doubt it can be, since there's no documentation about it at all from the vendor.
Is there any fundamental difference between the two setups? Thank you.
The big difference is that the LTSP package was set up to overcome the limitations of the pure upstream version.
Have a look at K12ltsp.org. They have a version based on Centos-5. Maybe it will fill your need.
