Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP) is a free and open source add-on package for Linux that allows many people to simultaneously use the same computer Applications run on the server with a terminal known as a thin client (also known as an X terminal) handling input and output Generally, terminals are low-powered, lack a hard disk and are quieter озгдо than desktop computers because they do not have any moving parts This technology is becoming popular in schools as it allows the school to provide pupils access to computers without purchasing or upgrading expensive desktop machines [citation needed] If the school does not have enough computers, new thin client machines are less costly than standard computers If the school does have enough computers but they are a few years old, they may be able to extend the useful life of obsolescent computers by converting them into thin clients, since even a relatively slow CPU can deliver excellent performance as a thin client.  Цель курса2010 г Мягкая обложка, 72 стр ISBN 6130276354.
