[K12OSN] thin client laptops/Asus EEE

[Will Hatch]

Our school is at a juncture where we have to decide between upgrading the electrical system so it can handle a permanent computer lab, or go with laptops of some kind that run off of a cart.  The principle wants to go with the laptops because of cost.  I priced out a couple different models of Dell, that would run Windows XP, and would coexist with our Windows 2003 server.  But the cost is still more than we probably want to spend.  Wireless is a must.  

I set up a k12ltsp network a few years back with good success.  But I used desktop hardware and ethernet.  I am wondering how wireless works with k12ltsp, and if there is a recommended make/model of inexpensive laptop that will do the job.  Has anybody successfully set this up with the Asus EEE?  Thanks for any help/suggestions.
