I am in South Africa and we would like to be able to re-use oldish desktop computers as thin client cluster ltsp servers. The idea is that instead of schools having to buy a big expensive server, we could use cheaper or second desktop computers in an ltsp cluster for their thin clients. So I would really love to see what you have done. cheers, Ingrid Siebörger Rhodes University Hi,

(or if you could point me to an already existing one.) I'm currently writing a paper on Thin Client Computing for a project to reduce electronic waste (ewaste) in Latin America. I've already writen 100 pages and figure that I have about 30 more pages to write. The goal is to teach people how to use their old computers for longer periods, since throwing away old computers creates toxic waste which isn't properly recycled in Latin America or many other parts of the world. In addition reusing old computers avoids buying a new computer, and 81% of the total energy used by a computer lies in the original manufacturing. I am trying to recommend free or open source software solutions so that people don't have to violate software licenses. For that reason, I would be very interested in finding a load balancing solution that I can recommend in my paper.
