Why bother with LTSP at all. It just seems like complication. Win can netboot. Can run terminal services. I don't do Win, but my friend assure me that it's done like that. All I see is a benefit is you save 512M ram on each terminal, but it costs much more than 512M in licences etc In uffish thought (Twas brillig and the slithy toads ...
