I'm no expert, just my opinion (shout of I say anything wrong here please...) I'm a little way into an LTSP project myself. It's going very well. I decided early on to get a bunch of PCI video cards, and perhaps a bunch of networks cards (to make configuration a dream). The video card is the crux of it in my opinion. It's very _handy_ to have the same NIC's but not important to be honest. I bought some 4mb and 8mb SIS Sparkle video cards and they worked a treat. I figured once I had found a video card that just _worked_ without any faffing about, I would stick to it to save time. I bought one, it worked, so I bought a bunch of them. Yesterday, www.dabs.com were doing S3 Trio 3D PCI for �12 (exc) BUT they aren't there today! I should say that I've never tried this card, but it should work. I'd try out a card you can get hold of, then go back for more if you're happy. I reckon a �15 spend on a client is reasonable in anyone's book, and means you can run a sensible resolution with a good colour depth - instead of struggling to run 640x480 at 256 colour. FYI, you can pick up a cheap (cheap in both senses of the word) 14" TFT in PCWorld for about �180 (exc). So with an old box, and a new graphics card, you can build a TFT flatscreen workstation for �200. I like the sound of that. <whisper> but a CRT is of course fine </whisper> I've had very positive LTSP experience so far. I think it's fantastic. And it's _so_ easy to administer the network (read server) once it's set up. -- Matt __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Great stuff seeking new owners in Yahoo!
