= What are "Thin Clients" ? =
Workstations are referred to as '''diskless-clients''' or "'''thin-clients'''" since most of the processing is performed by the server, and routine tasks (like accepting input from mouse & keyboard and displaying graphics on monitor) are performed just in the thin client's internal memory (RAM).
A newer configuration option is to configure a lab to use '''diskless fat-clients'''. This allows the processing power to be distributed to the workstations (within their internal memory or RAM).
I still maintain that that the LTSP irc is one of the most '''user-friendly''' IRC channels on the Internet...

'''Edubuntu''' is the "'''educational version'''" of the Ubuntu Linux distribution. This distribution comes "bundled" with educational-based software, ranging from Kindergarten to College and University (for free of course).
Edubuntu is designed to provide educators with the resources to set up an inexpensive computer lab. One of the versions (Alternate Edubuntu CD) comes with LTSP <u>automatically</u> installed, so it is <u>not</u> necessary to install and setup LTSP after installation...
