Since all the users are going to be working on are productivity applications I find
LTSP solution to be better.
Ease of maintaining and installing new applications - only one machine
to be bothered about. Centralised authentication. A small machine to
rsync backups and you are on your way. No users training except use of
desktop which in any case will have to be done.
But them I am LTSP fan.
