I will talk about the server I use in another mail ;-) it's unbelievable that it works with 8 clients :-)
In the end the performance are equal to a light PC? I've surf the network and found some thin clients with different CPUs. What kind of advantages have a thin client with a faster CPU than an older PC with an older CPU? With LTSP the only important think is the NIC speed isn't it? And maybe enought RAM... But for the last think, I don't know I work in a lab with P75 with 16MB RAM... instead of the 128MB offered in that thin client store.
Thanks for your help,
Enrico

Hi,
I have an LTSP lab with 10 clients in a school where I work. It works well.
For the clients do you suggest to use a light PCs or a thin-clients?
And if the clients are more than 10?
Thanks in advance,
Enrico
If you plan to buy new hardware, I'd suggest to choose thin clients. Some PRO's are
- no moving parts/fanless design
- less power consumption
- less room consumption (booksize)
which brings less noise etc.
Probably the price is better anyway, esp. buying in quantity.
You should of course think about your server when expanding the network - if it has enough RAM etc. There are other people around here that probably can provide you with numbers, I cannot.
Or search the mail archive.
