Linux Thin Client Networks Design and Deployment

In DetailA thin client network is a client-server architecture where client computers depend primarily on a central server for processing activities. The client machines (thin clients) mainly focus on passing user input to remote services and receiving and displaying the output; thin clients aren't as much about the hardware or software as about the design.
This book has all the information you need to easily set up your own Linux thin client network. It will help you evaluate how a thin client network fits into your organization and make informed choices on the hardware and software needed for your deployment, discusses design issues, and guides you with building, configuring, and supporting the network.
The author has given thought to the book to create something that is well rounded, and meets the needs of small and large organizations.
Written by experienced Linux thin client network designer and implementer, this book walks you through the concepts of thin client networks, and design issues associated with implementations of various sizes, setting up the framework, outlining strategies, principles, and best practice for creating the design, before leading you through the implementation step by step.
ApproachThe book consists of HOW-TOs for all elements of setting up a thin client network, as well as expert advice on decision making, based on the authorâ?Ts experience creating a thin client network for the city of Largo, Florida.
Who this book is forThe book is for System Administrators interested in designing and setting up a Linux thin client network and provides enough knowledge to understand how the technology works, make decisions about deployment, and then implement a stable work environment.
