Yeah - once upon a time... Just like me. But it was fine, students liked it.

Lubuntu is with LxDE, right? Well, I tried to setup my new server with 
LxDE, but it turned out that it is too far away from standards [which 
the students are used to]. So I use KDE 3.5 which is included in Suse 
12.1. - a good compromise between comfort and speed.

I guess your TCs were big enough.

Dell Optiplex with PIII/64M, yes, and older ones Fujitsu Siemens with 
don't know, PII as far as I remember (which I could partly replace 
because of a bigger number of Optiplex ones).

So I would have to run 4.2 and 5 at the same time. No problem, dhcp 
could handle that, but LTSP5 won't even run stable on the Optiplex TCs 
with the big standard kernel delivered by Suse. I would have to pump up 
RAM to 128 at least, and even then they are somewhat slowly. And I don't 
like the look-and-feel of LDM, so I would like to tweak that too.
