Hello, we use LTSP5/Ubuntu8.04 with rdesktop from Ubuntu8.10 (because of problems with WinSrv2008). 1. IMO it works well (enough performance) 2. It's not directly supported within LTSP, but the LTSP gives you a great platform witch you can extend (i.e. install other software (e.g. ivman), extend 'screen.d'-scripts (e.g. add '-r' option to 'rdesktop'), ...). 3. The only problem we know are .... USB-sticks :) You have to sync the drive before you take it out. Some users does not wait, and I think their files get corrupted. We sync the drive after the user logs off.
