Jim, Good luck with whatever path you take. I've used Citrix in a corporate setting and really liked it. I've almost never had to restart the server. It runs on top of Windows 2003 Terminal Services and is very stable. I did have it set to reboot the server once a week in the middle of the night. Citrix provides many ease of use features that make administration a breeze. I would certainly look into it some more. Like I said before, it may not be a fit, but if stability is a concern, I wouldn't worry about that. Since users have restricted privileges, things stay very stable. Come to think of it, I've had to restart my Linux LTSP box more than I had to restart my Citrix box... I know the previous paragraph will cause swearing and cursing on the list <g>... I'd use Citrix now if I had the budget. K12LSTP is priced right <g> and does the job. I had a big challenge with AD integration and finally bought a third party tool to help with that (Centrify). As you have identified, the real savings in any thin client setting is in administration time and costs. You should be able to pick up thin client boxes for about $200-300 each. Computers in that range would not be worth buying, IMO.
