In case there's any chance you meant this (I don't think you did): it's definitely not that it's out of RAM. Just to be sure, I had everyone shut things down and I watched atop... not out of memory.
The server has 32 GB and the clients each have 4 GB. It's probably something small and easily overlooked, maybe related to the ownership thing I noticed. They're booted 64-bit mostly because that's what most new computers are these days. That's also the default image LTSP builds on a 64-bit server. I expect we could boot a 32-bit image on them, but except for this issue, it wouldn't occur to me to try. I haven't tried. Barely got the things to boot/display at all. I would be afraid of what else might break, and I don't know enough about 32 vs 64 bit issues to predict. I don't think I fully understand your question, but will try to answer further: We're not single-app, large-memory. We're multiple-app, cumulatively large memory. Some localapps will fall into the single-app, large memory category, but not day to day.
