What is KIWI-LTSP? edit
KIWI-LTSP utilizes ease of deployment and management provided by KIWI to bring our awesome distribution openSUSE to everyone that wishes to use thin client computing.
What is LTSP
The Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP) adds thin-client support to Linux servers. LTSP is a flexible, cost effective solution that is empowering schools, businesses, and organizations all over the world to easily install and deploy desktop workstations. A growing number of Linux distributions include LTSP out-of-the-box.
Shiny new thin-clients and legacy PCs alike can be used to browse the Web, send e-mail, create documents, and run other desktop applications. LTSP not only improves Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), but more importantly, provides increased value over traditional computing solutions. LTSP workstations can run applications from Linux and Windows servers.
Visit LTSP home page for more information.
What is KIWI
The openSuSE KIWI Image System (KIWI) provides a complete operating system image solution for Linux supported hardware platforms as well as for virtualisation systems like Xen Qemu or VMware. KIWI features distribution independent design, support for virtual systems, network deployed images, live CDs, thick clients and now with kiwi-ltsp diskless clients too.

How does it work?
PXE Boot process
In case of PXE booting, the client looks for DHCP server, the DHCP server provides the network configuration and hands over further booting to TFTP server. The client then fetches "linux-ltsp" - kernel and "initrd-ltsp" - initial ram disk. Once the booting of the kernel and initrd completes, booting into the chroot image begins. Upon booting, the clients runs /etc/init.d/ltsp-client.init
LTSP init scripts
ltsp-client.init is responsible for launching ldm (ltsp display manager) and fetching various variables from /etc/lts.conf, it also launches mounter script that mounts local devices into the user's session on the server. Various services required by the client such as sound using PulseAudio, local devices using cdpinger and ltspfsd, printing using jetpipe are also set up by the ltsp-client.init.
LTSP Display Manager
LDM supports login to the server via ssh. LDM logs in user and starts Xsession over ssh, it also supports authentication via ssh and Xsession without encryption(LDM_DIRECTX).
