A friend ha just acquired two old machines from work.  One 850MHz, one 
450MHz.  We've run a live CD on both and everything works. As he prefers 
Kubuntu they're a bit sluggish so we thought of using both machines 
together, with one as a terminal and the other a server.  We read a bit 
of info on the net and they always recommend a powerful machine as the 
server, but this is with multiple terminals.  As this is just going to 
be the one terminal I thought we should use the most powerful machine 
fir that as the graphics would be the most CPU intensive.  It has an old 
matronix video card with out direct rendering.
Anybody else set up any thing like this or have any thoughts before we 
start the very slow installation process.
