LTSP setup few advantage a. As suggested by Basker go for ATOM processor based cpu. A full set can be assembled at about Rs.10-12K (inclusive of monitor+kbd+mouse). This avoids vendor lockin. If required can be used as regular system by addition of hard disk. b. Existing P-IV systems can be used throwing away hdd,cd-rom etc. This will reduce the cost further down.
Disadvantage Generally all consumers want service/warranty support from the supplier themselves, they prefer large corporates over smaller ones. The thinclients available from HCL and others are very costly. LTSP is economical only with assembled sets or old PC's.
