Hi Asmo, thank you for your answer.
I want to to use the PI in a small office, and set it on the rear of a 22" LCD: it's a good and economical setup. But I have some problems as reported in my post, see below. Do you have experienced this kind of issues? I'm testing PI as thin client with Edubuntu 12.04 and LTSP-PNP. There is a strange behavior: even if I have set Italian as default language, the desktop is always in English. If I enter with the same user on another thin client (not PI) the language is right (Italian). Then, after login, there is an Ubuntu Crash message.
