Would it make sense to set up one machine as a Xwindows/thinclient (we have spare network cards) and upgrade the other machine as a server with new, motherboard, memory, processor and HD, and adding Cd-rom. These will be workstations for students and staff. Doing office applications and some intro to programming kinds of things.

I have 6 486Dx2 boxes that are going to be sent to 3 high schools in Ethiopia from the US. 16megs of 72pin ram, 200Mbytes hard drives, no cd-roms. I do have a budget fo up to $150 per machine for upgrades. Seeking input from the group on what an ideal configuration, both hardware and software, might be for this use. The schools have nothing at present.
Depends, what theses boxes are supposed to do. More RAM and hard disk space is what I would recommend. Have at least 32MB, if you want to get some serious work done. 200MB is also very tight, if you want to use them as workstations.
