I've got no problems with Linux activities being plugged here, shameless
or not.

I'm curious what advantages are seen for a Vector Linux based LTSP
server?  I can understand seeking a light weight distro for antique
workstations,  but an antique LTSP server would probably provide a
pretty grim user experience.  (Although we ran 3 NCD X-Terminals off my
486DX33w/64Mb back in the day,  and once the applications
l--o--a--d--e--d it was quite usable.  And that was with Word Perfect,
probably one of the worst UNIX ports of all time).

So no streaming video? :)
