thin client or stand alone - which is better?

[Jim Hutchinson]

Thanks for all the feedback. It seems that having both fat and thin
would be ideal but I don't have that option. I only have the one lab
and it may be difficult to keep it as we continue to grow.

I think the admin benefits of a thin-client currently outweigh the
speed benefits of a fat-client and given I know how to do the
thin-client and all the authentication it may not be worth it to
switch. I would be curious to learn more about running fat-clients
with a thin-client component (i.e. local installs with auth and home
dirs on the server). If there is a way to "push" packages to the
clients as well (I know we have a tool in our district for this on
windows) that would even be better.

Thanks again. Any additional thoughts would be appreciated.

Jim
