If you want to monitor your ltsp server, I can't recommend this webmin 
module enough. It's called webminstats and it's very slick.  The 
requirements are webmin, perl, and rrdtool.

I've been putting it on all my servers and it's been very helpful in 
seeing problems, and seeing how the servers work over the course of time.
