We have 3 * HP Proliant DL140 G2 (Dual, dual core Zeons with 8Gb Ram) running 150~ clients. The interesting thing for performance is a really fast disk read, we use 2 * 18Gb SCSI ultra320 with RAID 1. How would you deal with users home directories? We have a dedicated server with NFS+NIS that allows the 3 LTSP Servers to mount home over NFS and authenticate from NIS. So as far as management or users go its a doddle, as you have all the users home directories etc in one place (for the paranoid, you could also load balance/failover these services too).
