Yes I agree with Bruno - search for kiwi-ltsp i think that is what you are looking for.. Its something I am planning for my final year project although mine will involve a beowulf cluster to add into the mix. But depending on how many users you need to run at any one time I think you can have around 4-5 simultanious users per 1 gb of ram. If you need any help I will try to assist as much as possible because its in my own interest also :) Stuart On Sunday 27 Feb 2011 18:42:03 Bruno Friedmann wrote:

Hello mates,
The last few month we were working on a project. I contacted a Scout Team that they had computers at their place given from the bank. They replaced theirs with better and faster technology and the bank donated them to the scouts. They wanted something faster and to be fixed. All of them were old. In association with GreekLUG (they provided us with some old hardware they didn't need), we started upgrading. During work, one of the computers went for recycling. Personally I got a computer from a friend and I donated to the scouts. So after we finished the installations of hardware and software, we set them up. The kids were happy and they were playing with the new interface and games. Unfortunately, they don't have internet. 2 of the computers are so old that it's hard to play a game. 2 of them are with LXDE and only one of them is with Gnome. We wish they had 2-3 powerful computers so they can have a lot of fun with openSUSE.
You can see a small report with pictures here:

Have a lot of fun, Stathis
Hello Stathis ! Perhaps, one of the best way, is finding someone (computer shop, etc) able to give away a quite recent computer (their not so expensive) and use it as ltsp ( or even see edu-life project) so the older can be used just as dummy terminal ?
