[K12OSN] Starting with NO Thin Clients to PC or to Thin

[Lachlan Simpson]

Hola, 

I would also add as someone who uses Limux, Mac OSX and Windows XP/Server 2000 - and you 
need to give this serious consideration - XP on 256 MB RAM is going to cause you more 
literal headaches from people saying "why is this so sloooooooooooow?".

Even MS recommends 512MB RAM for XP.

I would definitely move them to ltsp.
