ABSTRACT
Rasheed Ayodele, Akintunde. 2010. LTSP: Developing Information Technology Systems in a Developing country. A Case Study of Nigeria. Bachelor’s Thesis. Kemi – Tornio University of Applied Sciences. The Unit of Business and Culture. 74 pages. Appendix 1.
This Thesis work is focused on the implementation of Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP) with a view to providing a very effective and affordable Information and Communication Technology for the Nigerian educational and business sectors. It is meant to make Nigeria relevant in the business world. Information Technology could be regarded as the ‘life-blood of the world economy’ today. Meanwhile, an average stakeholder, in the developing countries, is financially constrained to be able to afford the required facilities for information technology. The research work involved an exploration of the development and operation of LTSP, which was basically invented to ease the cost of Information Technology to make it affordable for everyone. It also involved the establishment of facts about LTSP and making suggestions on how to improve on its operation.
The work is essentially meant for the developing countries, using Nigeria as a case study. Nigeria has been endowed with highly talented individuals in every facet of technological ideas and innovations, the ability of Nigerian institutions to undertake in-depth research is often hampered by lack of appropriate technological resources caused, majorly, by financial constraints for their acquisition. This work is targeted at resolving this problem by proffering an affordable and highly effective technology to them.
Exploratory research method was employed to carry out this work, while the basic technique adopted was an informal and open discussions held with some people that possess vast knowledge in LTSP operation. These options had been engaged to enhance my in-depth knowledge and technical know-how of the LTSP. It involves its painstaking studies and understanding.
The major output of this work is the identification and acknowledgement of an easy-to-use, highly economical LTSP server which will afford the less-privileged and developing countries the opportunity to be part of the information technology world. This will, in effect, enhance rapid economic development in these countries.
Keywords: LTSP, ICT in Nigeria, LTSP Set Up, LTSP Booting process
