If you could get by with only Windows Terminal
Services for a day or so, do you think that a standard
desktop-class machine would be good enough to act as a
backup LTSP machine for all your clients?  You could
set SCREEN_01 = rdesktop and not have a screen for
startx.

Just make sure the Windows Terminal Servers are loaded
with OpenOffice, GIMP, Firefox, etc. so that the users
can still use "Linux applications".
