Do you only have one port in the classroom?

What I've done in this case is setup the iMacs as a "thick" client, 
where I do a base install (of Ubuntu Server 6.06 btw) and then install 
only xserver-xorg and xfonts-base. In rc.local I query the ltsp server 
and I'm good to go. This route does require the hard drives in your 
iMacs though.
