Wow! I'm wallowing in the goodness of the folks in this list :) Thanks to so many of you for your inputs. Seems that our 4gb server idea may prove inadequate as a one-box solution. Going forward, I think the solution lies in multiple task-specific boxes- for heavy apps like OO, for home directories and file services etc.
While several of you came up with CPU+RAM:user ratios, I'm afraid I am still not clear what our mileage would be. Being a school environment, I can restrict the users to a predefined set of apps, even so far as to restrict flash/java games. The current expected user apps are OO, browser, chat clients, some foxpro/dbase apps through wine (few users). Another view is the multiple ltsp servers for groups of users. While I am not educated enough to know, I assume its perfectly feasible to have 2 or more ltsp servers running on the same network? does that mean the DHCP server would be one box only...and capable of handling all my 100 odd clients' needs?
