Nice to know that more installations are on it's way at our nearest neighbour :-).

I don't know if NoMachine (NX-server) will be included in Knoppix 3.6. Skolelinux/Debian Edu has a dialog with LTSP's Jim McQuillan and Finn-Arne Johansen and a couple of other persons to get this into Skolelinux. That said, there are some limitations on bandwidth anyway. Media rich applications need more bandwidth compared to text-oriented applications. This influences us in how we have to thing when using the LTSP-technology. Half thick diskless client is probably a solution. This can be "easily done" with LTSP 4.0. Today Skolelinux uses LTSP 3.0.X ... > Another success is so called 441 from HP.
