That's fine.

As an example, the specs in this tender for the Catalan Departmen of
Education define by default a thick-clients environment, being opened to
a thin-clients approach.

Of course we can adapt this for that project if we get it, I just wanted
to point that it may just happen that teachers and admins knowing what
they do could simply prefer a non-LTSP environment.

On the other hand, I may well imagine that the Edubuntu success in the
schools will be noticed by parents wanting to have it also at home....
picking a CD or downloading it and installing it at home. If Edubuntu is
as successful as we want, it may well happen that many people know about
Edubuntu without having heard of Ubuntu.

The question could be as simple as:

WHAT KIND OF COMPUTER IS THIS?

1. The teacher's computer, that will control the rest of computers
connected to it. (LTSP - default)

2. A stand-alone computer in a classroom or at home. (thick-client)
