[NTLUG:Discuss] thin clients, are they practical and satisfactory?

[msr]

mplug.org - some of those guys setup a thin client for a local
university - worked well - worked from ltsp

The clients were donated p166 and they had to order special nic's to
get everything booting from the server.  End result was about 24
clients and printe all on one server with 100mb full duplex cards
