Yeah that is a good point..it is relatively easy to setup.  Though it
would be nice to have LTSP centric package for ubuntu.
The one thing I could never get to work was the sound, I spent sometime
on irc with one of the developers but never had any luck. 
Well i am about to drop the thin clients to normal ubuntu installs for
now, then I am going to convert the server over to ubuntu, hopefully
all will go well.
Nice to hear that someone else has set it up successfully.
