"Thick"clients configuration

[Nicolas Pettiaux]

Hello,

In the school where I am teaching, we have received some "new"
machines (Pentium II and III with 128 MB Ram) that I would like to use
in our Edubuntu network that consists on a brand new server with 1 GB
Ram and powerful CPU of last June.

With these computers, my idea is to have the the base system will be
on the local hard drive and the light application will run locally,
but the heavy ones to run on the server.

How should I configrure that and where can I get more information ?

What is your idea about such a configuration ?

About the "classical" thick terminal, I know they are the converse:
"powerwul" (how powerful ?), diskless terminals, with applications
running locally on the clients. How can I configure such terminals on
the system ?

Thanks,

Nicolas
