Description

A thin client network is a client-server architecture where client computers depend primarily on a central server for processing activities. The client machines (thin clients) mainly focus on passing user input to remote services and receiving and displaying the output; thin clients aren't as much about the hardware or software as about the design.

This book has all the information you need to easily set up your own Linux thin client network. It will help you evaluate how a thin client network fits into your organization and make informed choices on the hardware and software needed for your deployment, discusses design issues, and guides you with building, configuring, and supporting the network.

The author has given thought to the book to create something that is well rounded, and meets the needs of small and large organizations.

Table of Contents

Chapter 1 gives you a overview of exactly what is a thin client, and the different types that are available.

Chapter 2 gives you a sample of multiple types of thin clients. This chapter will help you decide the hardware to deploy.

Chapter 3 identifies key areas to review when considering the financial impact of your thin client plan and also discusses hardware acquisition and staffing costs.

Chapter 4 addresses what might be the hardest part of your deployment: People. Some people are passionate about their software and others are challenged with any workflow changes. It's important to address them as much as possible before, during, and after deployment.

Chapter 5 reviews the network required to run thin clients. Because of the simplicity of the computing deployment, your network too is simplified.

Chapter 6 covers the steps necessary to design a server for the number of users in your deployment and the steps to allow thin clients to log into and run a desktop environment.

Chapter 7 explores software packages that run on Linux, along with their suitability to run over the network to thin clients.

Chapter 8 reviews the process of considering the operating system to deploy on the devices and also covers interaction with USB devices and speakers.

Chapter 9 covers three aspects of support: supporting your users, support within your IT staff, and support from software vendors.

描述

瘦客戶端網絡是一種客戶端-服務器架構，其中客戶端計算機主要依賴於中央服務器進行處理活動。客戶機（瘦客戶端）主要關注將用戶輸入傳遞給遠程服務並接收和顯示輸出；瘦客戶端不僅僅關於硬件或軟件，而是關於設計。

本書提供了您在輕鬆建立自己的Linux瘦客戶端網絡所需的所有信息。它將幫助您評估瘦客戶端網絡如何適應您的組織，並根據您的部署需求做出明智的硬件和軟件選擇，討論設計問題，並指導您構建、配置和支持網絡。

作者在書中充分考慮了各方面的需求，以滿足小型和大型組織的需求。

目錄

第1章概述了什麼是瘦客戶端以及不同類型的瘦客戶端。

第2章提供了多種類型的瘦客戶端的示例。本章將幫助您決定要部署的硬件。

第3章確定了在考慮瘦客戶端計劃的財務影響時需要審查的關鍵領域，並討論了硬件獲取和人員成本。

第4章解決了部署中可能最困難的部分：人員。有些人對他們的軟件充滿熱情，而其他人則對任何工作流程的變化感到挑戰。在部署之前、期間和之後盡可能多地解決這些問題非常重要。

第5章回顧了運行瘦客戶端所需的網絡。由於計算部署的簡單性，您的網絡也變得簡化。

第6章介紹了設計用於部署中的用戶數量的服務器所需的步驟，以及允許瘦客戶端登錄並運行桌面環境的步驟。

第7章探討了在Linux上運行的軟件包，以及它們在瘦客戶端上運行的適用性。

第8章回顧了考慮在設備上部署的操作系統的過程，並涵蓋了與USB設備和揚聲器的交互。

第9章涵蓋了支持的三個方面：支持用戶，IT人員內部支持以及軟件供應商的支持。
