I read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ltsp-pnp and saw
that it supports thin and fat clients, does not use a chroot, and
prefers a single-NIC setup. Nice.
But I didn't see anything there that gave any indication about client
performance when comparing LTSP-PNP vs. the current version of LTSP5 in
12.04. I am especially interested in thin (very thin) client performance.
Anyone?

What are folks' experiences of running Unity (2d?) versus the fallback
mode in an LTSP deployment? Have people experienced a performance hit from
moving from Gnome 2 on 10.04 to Unity 2d on 12.04? Realistically, should
we expect to be running fallback mode to achieve a similar level of
performance to our current install?
I think is is not question about desktop environment (Unity 3D vs.
LXDE/XFCE) but question about thin vs. fat client. You should go for fat
client, if your desktop hardaware can do that. Fat client gives to you the
best desktop performance whatever desktop you are using, even KDE can fly
in fat client.
Test Alkis' ltsp-pnp (coming to 12.10), if your network environment and
needs are simple enough. It is awesome. I use it with Lubuntu. My PCs are
very basic ones: P4/NVidia Vanta/512M(emory).
If you can't go for fat client, then you have to test amd tweak and ask
what users are thinking.
So, I recommend something like Lubuntu/Xubuntu+ltsp-pnp/fat client. It
gives best performane with media support (audio, video, voip etc).
