I have seen ltsp but am not sure if it's suiteable for our environment.

How easily can you run everything from the local host?

Does software installed on the server get "pushed" to the clients so  
they can be used?

I ask because the clients have more ram and CPU than our server and we  
are mainly doing 3D and video.

I have seen kiosk but could not work out if it only did local config  
and not for a network.

Would perfere to stay on kde as that had worked better with the  
students.
