Hi Uwe, The idea of building this plugin was to make it as simple as typing one command and have it do all the necessary work for you... when I say build, I mean use the ltsp-build-client command that u normally use for a normal client. I should add, that the script has been created and tested on Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex. That said, in order to run it on hardy is simply a matter of finding the mentioned medibuntu repository in the script and change intrepid to hardy. I suppose I can put up a Hardy version on my website.
Fat client is indeed meant for what you mention. The minimum requirements as I see them are a 600 mhz P2 with 256MB Ram. It will run on systems with less, but it will be slower, anything below this is really better geared towards use as a thin client. I've tested the low fat client on a 500mhz geode with 128mb ram, and even that works... but it requires some more testing to see what it will and will not run on. Obviously choosing high fat or low fat will make a difference...
