Здесь можно почитать про успешные внедрения LTSP, а также понять какое железо потребуется.

We have avoid different windows versions on our work places. And now we have ~ 60 thin stantions with LTSP 4.1+hands wink Hardware: Server is just usual P4 3000Hz with HT, 3Gb RAM, software RAID 0 on SATA disks with Raiser FS 3.6 Clients - different old PC, from P1-166 to P2/P3, with (maximum) 128 Mb RAM, without HDDs at all. Some client's have printers (HP, Epson), CD-drives, floppy and USB-mass storage devices. For boot we are using Intel and Dlink NIC with PXE support. Some clients that can not load NIC bios start from floppy. Software: On server we are using Suse 9.1 (2.6.4) and planning to replace it with Suse 10. On clients we add some custom scripts for logging, monitoring and access local devices. Most of clients just get their desktop via XDMCP from server and use a lot of applications. Desktop is KDE powered with kiosk mode. They use OpenOffice? 2.0, Firefox, Thunderbird, PSI (for corporate jabber) mostly. And games of course. Several clients have sound support to play music with XMMS and even video with mplayer. For launch windows specific applications we use Wine as soon as possible, or if we have no choice RDesktop, for applications hosted on Windows 2003 Server with terminal services. Now we are trying to find solution for using two LTSP-servers (old and new with AMD Athlon X2 CPU) as load-balancing cluster. -- YuriKolesnikov - 03 Apr 2006
