Our small elementary school received a donation of reasonably new machines, all fast P4s with 1GB and large disks. One common use is educational games via flash over the Internet. Although much of the documentation discusses using LTSP, my thinking is that there will be quite a bit of screen bandwidth needed. Since the machines are powerful I'm thinking it makes more sense to not use LTSP.
This does make management a bit more difficult, though, especially if the school decides to give out logins for each student using the machines (instead of, say, a "guest" login). Can anyone offer suggestions how to best setup this configuration. Seems like NFS mounting /home, but I'm wondering what else can be shared to ease management. Another question is how to lock down the machines. I've looked at the Lockdown Editor Pessulus and Sabayon. What about blocking URLs? Mac OSX/Safari has a reasonably easy parenteral control where the browser won't go to any domain that isn't defined. And when it's attempted the admin can enter their password to provide access. Any pointers how to implement this?
