This does *not* solve the problem of slow graphics on 486s. I named it
as solution for peak load distribution of *calculation* processes on
the nodes; it would help to squeeze the CPUs for the last bit of power
when number crunching software is run.

486 *are* slow for terminal X, even if nothing else runs.
We got quite bearable results with 486-66 (or were they -100?) with
PCI graphics adapters (16MB) and old ISA nics. YMMV, and 386 probably
are not satisfying in most user's eyes.

www.disklessworkstations.com offers nice, well-supported terminal
nodes that plug-and-play like (some changes to lts.conf and dhcp.conf
probably) (afaik) run with ltsp.
JMQ runs that company, so shoppers support the ltsp project.
