I was reading /. today (I know, I know - bad idea...), and came across an 
article on using 1 linux pc for 4 *local* terminals, that is 4 monitors/
keyboards/mice attached to one local PC, allowing 4 students to use it at 
once.  I thought it was a cool idea, then my I found myself asking the 
next logical question: could this be done in an LTSP setup where we could
effectively eliminate 3 PC's for ever 4 terminals?  Would it save time/$$
in the long run?

Thoughts?
