It would seem that a 200 MHz p class may not server nearly as well running local apps as it would running as a thin client. Also, I haven't played with LTSP local apps. Until I can play with it and get it to work, I am willing to say that LTSP claims to have the ability to run local apps. I think I remember someone was willing to talk to them (Peoria Schools). I will join whoever that is if needed. But first, as Hans pointed out, we need a volunteer team before we can commit. What is wrong with doing a fact finding mission (with out commitment) to determine their willingness, needs and our resources before we consider committing. George
