press release proposal

Not form experience but from reading (the net, LTSP list etc.), depending on
which export you listen to, a 2.4 GigHz Pentium with 3 Gig of RAM memory
(memory speed not mentioned) will support from 90 to 120 thin clients before
performance degradation is noticed. Obviously these clients will not be
doing CAD/CAM. Probably office stuff.

Supposedly a 200 MHz Pentium with 32 Meg of RAM will function as a very
sweet thin client.

This caught my attention.

I have read some about LTSP.

Can anyone share their experiences with types of hardware they use for
this?

This save me a lot of money for my classes. I'd like to find 20 cheap
systems.
