[ale] Edubuntu Local Apps and Hard Drives : was Need Help sending PCs to Haiti

[Boris Borisov]

I never did setup on newer LTSP I stop at version 3.07 or similar I
can't recall now (back early 2000's). But back then the local
applications was terminology i believe for running for example Mozilla
on the diskless station CPU not on the server CPU. In that way you
avoid loads of pixels over the network. But application that are
executed in that fashion are installed in diskless directory tree so
they get loaded over NFS exports.

What are HD for?

Or maybe everything got changed with new LTSP versions.

Anyway I have 2-3 old HD. Marietta or Dallas. IF I do search over my
junk I would come up with more.
