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.
I gave up trying to administrate LTSP some years ago, so now somebody does it for us, and it's not a school, but an office with three elderly thin clients on a moderately new server. We're traditional KDE3 users and while we have KDE4 installed as well as Gnome2 and two lightweight desktops, the performance and handling of KDE4 sucked and the lightweight Desktops as well as Gnome2 didn't do what we wanted, but our supporter was able to reinstall KDE3.5, which still does exactly what we want except that it is confusing to switch between KDE3 and 4 programs as well as GTK and other programs, as the design changes. We have both LTSP4 and LTSP5 installed and can use either. The former is much faster to boot and uses less resources, but has no sound.
With regard to Unity, Gnome3, and other new-fangled stuff, I expect that pupils catch on faster than the teachers!
