That's one consideration why we're opting for Bayanihan Linux: aside from the fact that this is to patronize our partner-agency's product, our LTSP setup is for training purposes, so usage should be as painless as possible. > - in the course of running LTSP based systems, it may be that one > user, possibly not intentionally, can take up *a lot* of resources, > both CPU and memory, thus slowing everyone else down.

How do we mitigate this? Yes, this discussion need not be a "pissing contest" on who has deployed the most clients given such and such resources. Too bad, we came in late when Marvin Pascual presented LTSP at last year's PhilOSC; but I'm sure members of this list can contribute to the knowledgebase by discussing their experiences.
