My possible installation at work would be a very light need for apps, but
about 180 thin clients. There will be no need for localapps, and no thick
clients. 90% of them only do two things: a character based 5250 emulation
(basically telnet, with some special function keys defined) to IBM
AS400/iSeries servers and a SSH connection to an AIX server. The other 10%
will additionally have Firefox to only look at intranet based reports.
There will never be any YouTube, Flash or multimedia use, and perhaps only
5 of them will ever have any local docs (and LibreOffice) at all. Only a
handful will ever need outside internet access.
XFCE instead of Unity or gnome-session-fallback would be fine, and further
reduce requirements. In testing just a few on Edubuntu 12.04, old 128meg o'
ram junkers perform just fine, some will be PCs removed from office use,
some will be little 15-watt fanless PCs.
I'd suggest localapps or LTSP fat clients for this. You'll be able to
serve any number of telnet/ssh clients without wasting any server
resources or bandwidth after the initial booting, so you can use a
modest server.
SCREEN_07=ssh <params>
SCREEN_08=telnet <params>
etc.
The other 10% is only about 20 clients, so you can use either thins or
localapps or fats, your choice. They can be served from the same
server/chroot.
