Thanks so much, Steve. These look to be excellent, step-by-step directions. I'll give it a try on a small server in my classroom over next week's break. (It's spring up here.) Scott

Scott, you are almost right about the path for the thin client 'stuff'. It doesn't get updated automatically with the server side, unless you delete and recreate it every time there is an update to the ltsp client build. I think you should do this to update it, based on https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuLTSPUpgradeNotes; all these steps are done on the LTSP server: # Copy the apt sources list into the thin client chroot sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/apt/ sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get update # It is suggested at http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Edgy/HOWTO:_Install_MueKow_on_Ubuntuthat you do this next: sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386/ mount -t proc proc /proc # In any case, the next step is: sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get upgrade # If you want to upgrade the thin client kernel do sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get dist-upgrade sudo ltsp-update-kernels However, I follow the maxim 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' as far as thin clients are concerned. If you do try it, take a copy of /opt/ltsp/i386 first. I hope this helps!
