I have a lab of computers running plain LTSP with thin clients.

They work pretty well as thins. Would you expect them to work
any better as fat clients?
I built the fat client image with these instructions:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/FatClients
But I'm not sure how to have just those more powerful systems
boot from the new image. (I don't want to move the fat image
to /opt/ltsp, I want to leave it at /opt/ltsp-fat)
So, am I modifying /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf ?
Or is it something in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/ ?
Any hints appreciated.
If the stronger machines have more RAM, you could use FAT_RAM_THRESHOLD
to specify which clients should run as fat and which thin. So in your
lts.conf you could have something like:
"""
[default]
FAT_RAM_THRESHOLD=512
[00:A1:08:11:F2:C8]
LTSP_FATCLIENT=false
"""
In the above example, machiens above 512MB or RAM will start a fat
client session. A machine with more than 512MB of RAM can be set to use
a thin client session by using the LTSP_FATCLIENT directive.
