Instead, the entire image is loaded into the RAM of the ThinClient machine. To avoid confusion, and because it has since left the "NG" state, we now call it TCE-Live. - The disadvantage is that your ThinClient now needs at least 1 GB of RAM (see below). + The disadvantage is that your ThinClient now needs at least 512MB to 1 GB of RAM (see below). Working with 256 MB is possible when you use local storage instead of netbooting (don't use the ''toram'' parameter, either), but not really recommended. However, the huge advantage is that there no longer is a need for any high-availibility setup concerning NFS (nor HTTP/HTTPS/FTP). If you follow our advice of loading the entire image into the ThinClient's RAM, or using local storage, all you need is an HTTP (HTTPS optional for later stages) or FTP server with a dedicated IP, if you want to use netbooting. It is also possible to deploy the image to the ThinClient's local storage, if present, and have it update in the background. Besides, making changes to/updating the classic, NFS-based TCE (henceforth referred to as TCE-Classic) with the entire filesystem, not just its compressed image, spread out over the NFS share was rather finicky - with the current TCE-Live, you build and deploy a new image every time you make a change, and you can test it on a single client without interrupting your production environment. The //local storage// feature can also be used to create a portable version of both X2Go-TCE and X2goClient for Windows, sharing the same configuration, on CD/DVD/USB media. -- This mail was generated by DokuWiki at https://wiki.x2go.org/
