Mark, LTSP can be used both instead of Citrix, and along with Citrix.
If all you want to do is run Linux X applications, then LTSP will work just fine. If you want to gain access to a Citrix server, you can use the ICA Client on an LTSP workstation to get there. You can also use rdesktop to gain access to a Windows-2000 server running terminal services. Other methods also exist for running Windows apps, including VMWare, Wine, Win4Lin and VNC. You can probably get help with any of the above technologies via this mailing list, and on the #ltsp IRC channel at irc.openprojects.net.
