  One generic term for both thin clients and diskless workstations is ''LTSP client''.
  
  (!) Starting with Bullseye, LTSP is quite different from the previous versions.
- This concerns both setup and maintenance. As one main difference, the SquashFS image for diskless workstations is now generated from the LTSP server file system. Also, thin clients are no longer supported.

Setup can be done once the system has been added with GOsa².

- See the [[https://ltsp.org| LTSP homepage]] for details. On systems with ''LSTP server'' profile, {{{man ltsp}}} provides more information.
+ 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.

  Examples how to use ''debian-edu-ltsp-install'':
   * {{{debian-edu-ltsp-install --arch amd64}}} creates 64-bit diskless workstation support.
