  For information about LTSP in general, see the [[https://ltsp.org| LTSP homepage]]. On systems with ''LTSP server'' profile, {{{man ltsp}}} provides more information.
  
+ 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.
+ 
  Please note that the ''ltsp'' tool has to be used carefully. 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.

+ Please note that configuring end user devices will be a real challenge due to the variety of devices. For Windows devices an installer script could be created, for Apple devices a mobileconfig file.
