While I may be confused about HTML versus Plain Text, in my messages...  *ahem* 
sorry.

After hearing what Jordan and Rob had to say, I conclude that my problem is 
definitely not with LTSP, but with Ubuntu.

And it's looking like Debian might be the way to go. My co-worker has tested it 
a bit and seemed to think that it was certainly faster than Ubuntu.  

I guess I'm feeling a little burned by Hardy Heron. Perhaps I am confused by 
the concept of the LTS version- but it seems like the LTS concept is kind of 
pointless for desktop versions. I understand a long-term support version of a 
server OS. But having a desktop stuck with same apps, infrequent backports and 
nothing but security patches... is kinda... not helpful for my particular 
situation. Especially when the LTS version in question, is not especially rock 
solid. The LTS badge seems to imply a stability that isn't exactly there. 
Debian's philosophy seems more closely aligned with my situation. I want 
updated apps, not the necessity to update the whole shebang every 6 months.

There's a lot to like about Ubuntu- and I'm not quite ready to pull the 
trigger- but when I heard the focus of Jaunty would be "faster boot times", I 
had to scratch my head.  My clients are certainly not hounding me with 
complaints about boot speed.
