Hello,
I've found fatclient to be sufficient on 800mhz + 300mb+ (ram more
important than cpu)
I can confirm this (ram more important) .
Testing with my clients some weeks ago : CPU 1GHz and 512 MB are enough
to work fine as a (nubae) fat client. (With 256 ram it was not possible
in a good way)
But in my classroom now I use a Intrepid-ltsp with local apps and the
help from "GetMoreFromLocalApps"
see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/GetMoreFromLocalApps
localapps are : firefox vlc wine and the games "lbreakout2 pingus fillets"
It is very easy and fast to install a new localapp and you have access
to /home instead of /home/logged_in_user (<- last one I noticed testing
jaunty-ltsp, only access to home/logged_in_user)
So I can use a folder named /home/wine for wine-windows-software where
the localapp "wine" and all clients could access to.
With openoffice - I think- it is no problem to let it run on the server.

Lets see if I have go this as I fancy a go, assuming Ubuntu 9 is out at
the end of April, not long to wait.
Jaunty is Ubuntu 9, I an running LTSP on 8.10 and trying the Nubae fat
client approach. This works but HIGHFAT is too much for the 2.4Ghz 256
MB clients,

OK. I'll do ltsp-localapps later today.
I did that with VLC and AVI file.

I did have NAT problem (because I have only one nic) when I did try
to
listen streaming radio with localapps VLC. But that is just me,
localapps works just fine in Beta.
