i've the same question actually. anybody here tried benchmarking
LTSP? (for reference, 2003 TS can still satisfactorily perform for

Interesting. 70 users! What do your users run?
Image Manipulation Applications, Typesetting Applications, Office Applications,
Web/PDF Publishing Applications & Web browsing (+ Solitaire).
Web browsing???, off-shore users used the 2003 TS for browsing the web as part of
their operation and according to their evaluation, browsing is much faster compared
to using their own internet link since the bandwidth consumption is at the TS side
which is equipped with much greater bandwidth. unbelievable? we have the same
reaction actually but it really makes sense. RDP seems to be optimized, no wonder
MS bought(?) the Citrix technology that would kill VNC on Win32. and the best part
of it, gnu/linux supports RDP thru RDesktop.
