How to setup unix training class with thin clients and a blade server?
Hello folks,
I have to conduct a demo session on bash scripting in any unix/linux distro to my colleagues (12 of them). Our company has not appointed a system administrator for linux. So I am seeking help from you all.
We only have thin clients running windows XP and are connected to a blade server. So, unable to install anything in the client PC. I did some research and understood I have following options:
1. I can run ubuntu desktop/server on the blade server and access it from thin clients using PUTTY.
2. I can use Slax (bootable from USB pen drive) within windows and use the terminal in Slax.
Which of the above is advisable? Are there any other possibilites? Would appreciate your help.
Thanks

I've been on Sun gear for years, using Sun Rays. With the news that Sun Ray is to be discontinued, I've taken an interest in researching other thin client solutions. I'm interested in using the thin clients on Solaris/SPARC, but also in future, quite possibly on AIX.
So, what simple thin... (8 Replies)

NAME
aseqnet - ALSA sequencer connectors over network
SYNOPSIS
aseqnet [remotehost]
DESCRIPTION
aseqnet is an ALSA sequencer client which sends and receives event packets over network. Suppose two hosts connected by network, hostA as
a server and hostB as a client. The ALSA sequencer system must be running on both hosts. For creating the server port, run the following
on hostA:
hostA% aseqnet
sequencer opened: 128:0
Then a user client 128 with port 0 was opened on hostA. (The client number may vary.) For creating the (network-)client port, run aseqnet
with the hostname of the server:
hostB% aseqnet hostA
sequencer opened: 132:0
Now all events sent to hostA:128:0 are transferred to hostB:132:0, and vice versa.
The ports created by aseqnet can be connected arbitrary to other sequencer ports via aconnect(1). For example, to connect hostB:132:0 to a
MIDI output device 65:0:
hostB% aconnect 132:0 65:0
Then events to hostA:128:0 will be delivered to hostB:65:0. The following command plays MIDI on hostB.
hostA% pmidi -p 128:0 foo.mid
The multiple clients may exist simultaneously. If hostC is connected as a client to hostA, events from from hostA are sent to all con-
nected network clients, i.e. hostB and hostC. However, only one connection is allowed from a client to a server.
To disconnect network, stop all clients before server by ctrl-C or sending signal to them. The server will automatically quit.
