When it come to older pcs, it really makes sense to try and use LTSP. We have created a kiwi-ltsp usb stick for openSUSE, which gives a portable ltsp server wherever u plug it in. In most cases it would make sense for this to be the most powerful computer. It is as easy as installing the sugar and sugar activities meta packages on this usb image and the users on the ltsp network then have access to Sugar from any computer in the network, and they are bound to load faster than from a usb image. The advantage is u need one usb stick per network, as opposed to one for each terminal... that saves costs, and time. Also, u dont need any of the old hardware, such as cdrom drives, hard drives, etc. Networking and internet is also no issue as if it works on the server, it has to work on each of the terminals too...<br>
