<br>
I use the wine version of Hot Potatoes from <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://hotpot.uvic.ca/">http://hotpot.uvic.ca/</a>
(not the java version)<br>
<br>
<br>
karel the robot see <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.cs.mtsu.edu/~untch/karel/">http://www.cs.mtsu.edu/~untch/karel/</a><br>
<br>
This programs run more robust and faster than in normal mode (running
on server) and I think they run as a local app. (I can not grep them
by ""ps aux" in a localapp xterm . Only wine ! )<br>
<br>
<br>
I also use a german ms-windows-based programm in school which needs
with multimedial-data about 500 MB on harddisk. I installed it only in
/home/wine (server) and not in every /home folder of every
autologged-in-user. <br>
<br>
So I need the ability of ltsp-localapp to have access
to /home instead of access to / home/logged_in_user.<br>

Hello,

<pre>I've found fatclient to be sufficient on 800mhz + 300mb+ (ram more
important than cpu)
</pre>
</blockquote>
</div>
I can confirm this (ram more important) .<br>
<br>
Testing with my clients some weeks ago : CPU 1GHz and 512 MB are
enough to work fine as a (nubae) fat client. (With 256 ram it was not
possible in a good way)<br>
<br>
But in my classroom now I use a Intrepid-ltsp with local apps and the
help from "GetMoreFromLocalApps"<br>
see <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/GetMoreFromLocalApps"
target="_blank">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/GetMoreFromLocalApps</a><br>
<br>
localapps are : firefox vlc wine and the games "lbreakout2 pingus
fillets"<br>
It is very easy and fast to install a new localapp and you instead of
/home/logged_in_user (<- last one I noticed
testing jaunty-ltsp, only access to)<br>
So I can use a folder named /home/wine for wine-windows-software where
the localapp "wine" and all clients could access to.<br>
<br>
With openoffice - I think- it is no problem to let it run on the server.<br>

the end of April, not long to wait.
Jaunty is Ubuntu 9, I an running LTSP on 8.10 and trying the Nubae fat
client approach. This works but HIGHFAT is too much for the 2.4Ghz 256
