The Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP) is an add-on package for Linux that enables you to run multiple thin clients, low-powered terminals, from one main server. A thin client is a small, energy-efficient, and generally lower-powered system designed to be used in conjunction with a more powerful server. The thin client has limited processing power and speed and limited storage, making it very inexpensive. All it is used for is receiving input from a device such as a keyboard or mouse, communicating with a server, and displaying output to a screen.
