Dear Zentyal users,

We've just released the new zentyal-ltsp module which provides Thin
and Fat client functionality integrated with the DHCP module.

The current features allow the users to:

- Build and update Thin and Fat client images
- Install local applications
- Limit one session per user
- Create profiles to apply different configuration to the clients
- Enable/Disable network compression, local apps, local devices,
autologin, guest login and sound
- Select keyboard layout
- Enter any other custom LTSP options
- Configure Per-client Autologin and Guest Login

To test this new module, just install a fresh Zentyal 2.3 making sure
that you have Internet connection, in order to get the latest
packages. If you already have an installed Zentyal 2.3, just upgrade
to the latest version in the Software Management page and select the
new 'Thin Clients' module. As usual, remember that Zentyal 2.3 is a
beta release and it is not intended at all for production
environments.

Any bug report or feedback will be really appreciated!

Additional notes:

- You will need to manually install a desktop environment in your
server, for example for the default Ubuntu system you need to run:

 sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop network-manager-

 (Note that network-manager needs to be skipped to avoid conflicts
with Zentyal.)

- If you want to test this with VirtualBox, you should know that the
emulated Intel network cards doesn't seem to work well: use PCnet ones
instead.

Best regards,
