Mostly Unity, though 12.10 also saw the inclusion of quite a few desktop software depending on clutter which in turn requires 3D acceleration to work. For those, the thin client will use llvmpipe to do 3D acceleration in software, leading to pretty high CPU usage on the server side which can easily slow down all your clients. So unless you really need a lot of new software that can only be found in 12.10, I'd strongly recommend using 12.04.1. -- Stéphane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com
