Yes, the fat client does still PXE boot. For some reason I don't
remember it doesn't take that much longer to boot the fatclients than
the thin clients since something like only the... I don't remember.
So yes, it gets the full image loaded from the server. Also, things
get loaded onto the RAM of the client--not the hard drive--and that's
why I'd recommend to remove the hard drives--seems that it goes to
auto PXE boot more easily (no choices) and you don't have to mess with
BIOS or anything. A big advantage of fatclients is that all USB stuff
is seen as local (as it is) as opposed to the localapps where system
processing still occurs on the server. What does your switch look
like--it should have at least 1 gig port. FYI the #edubuntu irc is an
ok place for responses that need more interaction, though the #ltsp
irc has a lot more people and thus more likely that someone can help.

I see....having USB ports to be seen as local devices is actually an
advantage and the users will undoubtedly appreciate that. I have some
switches in a storage i got when my previous employer upgraded their
network gear that are a few years old. I will have to check to be honest
and can't be sure if they were gigabit or not. I am actually excited
about this project as it gives me an opportunity to learn more about
linux in general and ltsp in particular.
Appreciate your kind help,
Faisal
