We run 74 machines off a single dual 1.13 coppermine server running (blech) SuSE using LTSP3. It provides websurfing, Open Office, squirrelmail and a connection to a queen bee application on an AIX machine. It's solid.
The last round of deployment was a group of HP Vectras we picked up for US$5.00 apiece; 15" monitors were $30.00. Throw in a sawbuck for a little more ram and we were off and running.
Like a lot of incredible tools, LTSP has little Wow!-factor, especially amongst a group that would rather brag about playing 4 FPSes off one box. But it's real stuff that helps real people in countries that can only dream of having the hardware the drooling slashboys throw in the trash.
