Testing with my clients some weeks ago : CPU  1GHz and 512 MB are enough to work fine as a (nubae) fat client.  (With 256 ram it was not possible in a good way) But in my classroom now I use a Intrepid-ltsp with local apps and the help from "GetMoreFromLocalApps" see <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/GetMoreFromLocalApps">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/GetMoreFromLocalApps</a> localapps are : firefox vlc wine and the games "lbreakout2 pingus fillets" It is very easy and fast to install a new localapp and you have access to /home instead of /home/logged_in_user (<- last one I noticed testing jaunty-ltsp, only access to home/logged_in_user) So I can use a folder named /home/wine for wine-windows-software where the localapp "wine" and all clients could access to. With openoffice - I think- it is no problem to let it run on the server.
