Comment:
adjust for re-written LTSP

  The LTSP servers are set up to receive syslog from thin clients and workstations, and forward these messages to the central syslog recipient. 
  
  Please note:
-  * LTSP clients are using the programs installed on the server.
+  * LTSP diskless workstations are now using the programs installed on the server.
-  * For LTSP clients a more lightweight desktop environment should be used; this can be set at installation time, see the [[DebianEdu/Documentation/Bullseye/Installation#Desktop_choice|Installation chapter]] for details.  
-  * The client root filesystem is provided using NBD (Network Block Device). After each modification to the LTSP server or chroot the related NBD image has to be re-generated; run {{{ltsp-update-image}}} on the LTSP server.
+  * The client root filesystem is provided using NFS. After each modification to the LTSP server the related image has to be re-generated; run {{{ltsp image /}}} on the LTSP server.
  
  === Thin clients ===
- A thin client setup enables ordinary PCs to function as (X-)terminals. This means that the machine boots directly from the server using PXE without using the local client hard drive. The thin client setup now uses !X2Go, because LTSP has dropped supporting.

- Thin clients are a good way to still make use of very old (mostly 32-bit) machines as they effectively run all programs on the LTSP server. This works as follows: the service uses DHCP and TFTP to connect to the network and boot from the network. Next, the file system is mounted from the LTSP server using NBD, and finally the !X2Go client is started.
