Sounds like a somewhat simpler version of the multi-user Unix systems I was building at my job 20 years ago. They had one PC (usually a then-current 386/20) with special multi-user serial cards that supported 4 or 8 terminals, and ran SCO Unix.

So this is basically thin-client/server?

Actually, it just makes the
LTSP project built-in, rather than another add-on.

It’s actually better than a thin client, since you don’t have any firmware, ROM, or processing power at the seat. It acts like a KVM extender, from what I can tell.

I wonder if this would work with PS3
To: Halfmanhalfamazing
“A seat refers to a combination of a screen, a set of input devices (such as mice and keyboards), and maybe an audio card or webcam, as individual local workplace for a user.”
40 years ago terminals were “work stations”- now they’re “seats”.
Less theatening I guess- or just ‘truer’.

I scarcely understood a word of that. I thought I was going to read about a hat that could direct my car gps-style or play cds as I walked.
To: Moose4
I remember those days. We would install a 16 or 32 port serial multiplexor and hang dumb terminals off of them. SCO called it “Instant Mainframe”
Those where the days!

Actually, it just makes the LTSP project built-in, rather than another add-on.From what I've been reading about LTSP, this isn't quite the same. Sounds to me like you're just plugging keyboards, mice, and monitors into one box. However, I think the two would complement each other quite well. Rather than having to build and configure individual thin clients, if you had a setup like these for the clients, each client workstation could service multiple users. For a classroom setting, that would be kind of cool.

Yeah, pretty much. Pick the fastest of the bunch and have everybody use the one computer.
That could be a logistical problem, so one computer per room perhaps. Would still save you a ton of money, and space too.
