some grammar fixes

  
  For information about LTSP in general, see the [[https://ltsp.org| LTSP homepage]]. On systems with ''LTSP server'' profile, {{{man ltsp}}} provides more information.
  
- Please note that the ''ltsp'' tool needs to be used with care. For example, {{{ltsp image /}}} would fail to generate the SquashFS image in case of Debian machines, and {{{ltsp ipxe}}} would fail to generate the iPXE menu correctly.

  The ''debian-edu-ltsp-install'' tool is a wrapper script for {{{ltsp image}}}, {{{ltsp kernel}}} and {{{ltsp ipxe}}}. It is used to setup and configure diskless workstation support; in addition thin clients (both 64-Bit and 32-Bit PC) are supported using !X2Go. See {{{man debian-edu-ltsp-install}}} or the script content to see how it works. All configuration is contained in the script itself (here documents) to facilitate site specific adjustments.

  '''Diskless workstation'''
  
- A diskless workstation runs all software locally. The client machines boot directly from the LTSP server without a local hard drive. Software is administered and maintained on the LTSP server, but it runs on the diskless workstation. Home directories and system settings are stored on the server too. Diskless workstations are an excellent way of reusing older (but powerful) hardware with the same low maintenance cost as with thin clients.

  Unlike workstations diskless workstations run without any need to add them with GOsa².
