do you have BNC or TwistedPair Cable?
For only 5 Terminals 10MBit is enough
you can improve ther perfomance with
* a switch instead of a hub
* a 100MBit Card for the Server
depending on your applications, your server may not have enough RAM now.

you need a EPROM writer "prommer" - it's a special hardware
you can also buy ready-made Etherboot EPROMS

yes , you can use LTSP Local Apps or
you just boot the locally installed Linux
an make an "X -query server" to connect to the server.

It is possible, but a little bit complicated.
I'm using lp_server on the client with the Printer
and CUPS on the server(where the apps are running).
Here is my CUPS URI: socket:/terminal01:9100/
