For this project we are going to use the ltsp-server package provided by the LTSP Project as the base of the Polilinux Remote Boot Server, while I am writing this document ltsp-server is on its 5.5.9 version as we are going to see through the apt-cat show command ahead.

|
|
|
That specific package will give to the server some interesting features such as the possibility of easily building chroot of different architectures, generating some services configuration files and the lts.conf file, which will allow us to set some configurations to our clients, moreover if we don’t want to use such features, we can just build our chroot manually and ignore ltsp-server commands.

|
First of all, let’s have a look what packages LTSP Project provides.
