The Linux Terminal Server Project adds thin-client support to Linux servers.

The Linux Terminal Server Project adds thin-client support to Linux servers. LTSP is a flexible, cost effective solution that is empowering schools, businesses, and organizations all over the world to easily install and deploy desktop workstations. A growing number of Linux distributions include LTSP out-of-the-box.

Shiny new thin-clients and legacy PCs alike can be used to browse the Web, send e-mail, create documents, and run other desktop applications. LTSP not only improves Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), but more importantly, provides increased value over traditional computing solutions. LTSP workstations can run applications from Linux and Windows servers.

Linux thin-clients have proven to be extremely reliable because tampering and viruses are virtually non-existent. It's distributed under the GNU General Public License, meaning it's free and always will be.

You'll find that LTSP has comprehensive free and professional support, and it's developed by a very active global community. We invite you to participate too!

We hope you'll take the opportunity to browse our site and learn more about the Linux Terminal Server Project.

Downloading LTSP

LTSP-5 is a complete re-design of LTSP. It is tightly integrated with Linux distributions, so that you don't have to download it from us. You'll only need to install the packages that your favorite distro provides for you.

K12Linux is Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP.org) integrated with Fedora 10 and higher, in a convenient LiveUSB or DVD media installer. Since 1999 LTSP has empowered many schools and businesses with Linux-based terminal servers and thin clients, allowing low-cost clients or recycled computers to become powerful Linux desktop machines. K12Linux allows easy deployment of a Linux terminal server, capable of serving entire networks of netboot diskless clients. Clients login to the central terminal server, where they can use any Linux desktop environment (GNOME, KDE, XFCE, etc.) and most desktop applications. Significant long-term cost savings are made possible by central management of software and accounts.

See list of Features.

There are a few ways to try K12Linux:

  • LIVE DEMO Boot & run K12Linux Live Server from a USB key without touching your hard drive. Try K12Linux as a terminal server and boot diskless clients very quickly in demo mode.
  • QUICK INSTALL LiveUSB Install to hard drive. Within minutes you can have a permanent K12Linux server.
  • EXISTING FEDORA SERVER Install K12Linux server onto any existing Fedora machine (version 10 or higher). See the InstallGuide for details.
