LTSP is easy, but you need to do it right. I can get LTSP up-n-running in 30 min. The apt-get solution is experimental and mostly does not work. Do not go for ltsp-5 (experimental, read about muekow for more info) 1) get the ltsp-utils package http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/DownLoads I've only done the tgz, I'm sure the ltsp-utils_0.25_all.deb works too. 2) Run ltspadmin See http://ltsp.mirrors.tds.net/pub/ltsp/docs/ltsp-4.1-en.html#AEN320 It works, its easy and it's good n fast. I guess the hardest part is configuring DHCP. Since you've already done stuff this is more-of-the-same.
