As the LTSP technology is becoming more and more widespread many LTSP administrators are in need of an easier-to-manage solution. They need a graphical front-end to manage trivial tasks like setting and configuring the most commonly tweaked settings. Inspite of the existence of LTSP-manager on Ubuntu, there is currently no GUI which would work on any other Linux distributions.
This project aims at developing a generic GUI which could be used at any other platform and at the same time make the task of setting up a basic LTSP environment and configuring the same with a few clicks, though it would be first tested for openSUSE. Using this front-end, a person with minimum knowledge about Linux server administration would be able to set-up LTSP within no time.
LTSP GUI for openSUSE would be made using GTK+ (The GIMP toolkit) as the library for front-end, which is present in most of the flavors of Linux(GUI based) by default. Additionally, few cool features like monitoring logs of clients from within the GUI and monitoring client activities using italc would be introduced.
