Hey Todd,

I was wondering what you were using for thin clients. We had the same
issue with Devon IT 6030's and started ordering them with 512 MB ram
installed instead of 128mb. The issue for us was that the thin clients
use system ram to do video as well so you were really looking at 128
mb minus about 30 megs or so for X. With 512 MB they run pretty well,
at least on 7.04

We do successfully run LTSP on clients with 128 mb ram, but those
clients have video cards with some ram on-board.
