LTSP 4.1 Announced

Posted by michael on from the terminals-not-as-dumb-as-old-days dept.

Socrate76 writes "Linux Terminal Server Project just announced the latest 4.1 version. Among new features: local CD-ROM and floppy support using supermount and samba, sound support with esd and nasd by default, new kernel based on 2.4.26. And a question for other ./-ers: is it possible to watch movies (mplayer | xine) using LTSP over a 100-BaseT Ethernet? Is that possible, or must the movie player be run locally?"

  1. Linux does not discriminate by darkstar101 · · Score: 0, Troll

    The great thing about using Open Source software is no vendor is able to discriminate against you for viewing porn. You are able to to use you Linux distribution in any way you see fit, even if you choose to use it to watch choppy video of sexual activity with out of sync audio while perverting (er preventing) any other network traffic.
