I already have a fairly robust Edubuntu LTSP server for our needs - i7
processor with 12 GB RAM, and it's been working fairly well with the
25-odd computers we have in the school.  We need more machines so I
won't be using them as LTSP servers, but as end-user computers.

If I install them as stand-alone machines, I would lose the ability to
have your profile and files follow you around the school as well as
the central administration advantages of LTSP, would I not?

Thanks
