"jasujt\James Tremblay" "I would like to ask the team to look at the code "kiwi-desc-ltsp", the instructions for the base install are at http://en.opensuse.org/LTSP, the related LTSP scripts in cyberorg's build service http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/cyberorg/openSUSE_10.2/, the bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=216753 to see if they can implement any of the missing features, we need: udev support , ltsp client improvements, a better xorg implementation, a script to automate the mounting of local devices, network sound, etc. There are more and cyberorg is better at explaining. They way I understood it is that these are mostly translations of the Ubuntu pieces. The only other RPM based version of LTSP5 is in ALT linux under Sisyphus, ftp://ftp.altlinux.ru/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/Sisyphus/noarch/SRPMS.classic and ftp://ftp.altlinux.ru/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/Sisyphus/noarch/RPMS.classic, which seems to be fairly complete if that makes the translation easier.

This really needs to be running and available for 10.3 and SLEDsp1 so that schools that would like to use openSUSE \ SLED \ Novell in the fall are not forced to use Ubuntu because it's the only mainline distribution with LTSP5."

palimpseste "Just as a small question/proposal: I recently came across this nice blog entry about AVN and thought it (this means: AVN) would be a wonderful addition for openSUSE. Is there any chance that this will be integrated into openSUSE, perhaps even in version 10.3? I always remember Mark Shuttleworth's comment "pretty is a feature" and I totally agree with him about that and I do not think that his comment is only valid for Ubuntu."
