Linux Terminal Server project LTSP

Last time we explored LTSP, we used Fedora 10, and it required manual configuration. Ubuntu 12.04 alternate install disk has a LTSP install that works 'out of the box'. Press F4 at startup and choose LTSP, the follow the usual Ubuntu install. When finished, it just works. Note: Make sure your machine has two network cards before you start the install. Here is the little Dell P3 we used last time, but now you see Ubuntu with unity. Not bad for a 600MHz machine with 256 Memory
