Why do you want LTSP? Your units are ok standalone. LTSP is used if you want to scrimp on the hardware resources for the clients. Sayang yung client hardware mo pag ganyan. :) Anyway, the wiki Jerome pointed is a good place to start. But if you want to run games, you'd be needing more than a big-iron server -- if we're talking about Windows games here, then ditch the LTSP setup completely, because while Wine and Cedega do work, they're not the recommended route. LTSP is good for managing installations that run commonly used apps, like browsing, office 'productivity', messaging. I'm not so sure about gaming, though, as this is a very memory-intensive field. And, oh, opt for a more robust switch. I'm partial to *at least* Linksys or Planet -- have pretty bad experiences with Cnet hardware, they fail too often, too soon. Network connectivity and performance will be a big issue in an LTSP setup, especially with your requirements. HTH. :) -- Ian Dexter R.
