If you get a NFS server running on the WinTS, and DHCP and TFTP
configured properly, LTSP should boot in text mode. Combine that with
running rdesktop instead of an X session and you should be all set.

In principle the server OS does not matter - SunOS is fine expect the
other flaws it makes the admin's day with, and MacOS should work as
well. I think there are also people using Windows.

You will not need cygwin necessarily, because you do not need any
special apps. Just see to getting NFS setup (and transfer the /opt/ltsp
tree from a Linux Box you setup as LTSP server), DHCP is known to work
and I think there is a description in the wiki. Perhaps you will need
cygwin for the TFTP server, I do not remember wether Win2003 comes with
one or not.
