Ok, this might be a problem on part of the clients that have less than 256M RAM, but most of them have 512M. I guess it would be possible to migrate slowly by feeding the old ones with 4.2 until they are updated or replaced, isn't it? I wouldn't switch to a new combination of opensuse and LTSP without having it tested thoroughly, of course. Just thinking about the best way of doing so... maybe a Suse 11.1 within Qemu on the server for a number of clients on a test weekend... What do you think?
