Just make them fat clients via LTSP. That way, you keep the

utilise the workstation hardware as the OS downloads to the

exactly your situation.

I second that, exactly.

Hi Matt & David,
Now that i have received the donated hardware and confirmed their specs,
this solution would be the best option to me as well. I went to the
school on Friday and picked up the donated hardware.
In total i received 10 computers(5 each of the below) & 1 networked
laser printer:
5x desktops with Celeron 2.4 Ghz, 2GB and 40 GB HD
5 towers with Intel Pentium D 2.53 Ghz, 2 GB RAM & 60 GB HD.
Plus 1 Xerox Phaser 840 laser printer with a few spare toners. Untested,
but said to be working before being placed in a storage. I am not
familiar with these and don't know how well they are supported in linux
if at all they are. I only saw Solaris drivers on Xerox's website.
I have only had time to take out a couple of the computers, clean them
out and test. Both worked well and hopefully the remainder will be just
as fine. I will have some time next weekend and inspect them all.
Cheers
Faisal
