thats what I am afraid of ... the refresh rate of the LTSP machines in
comparison to a normal one will be horrible for gaming .. which is why i was
interested to see if i could store some files locally on the machine's
harddrive

as in the game is stored locally, and run locally - but i've no idea at all
if its even possible, let alone to do it :)

not a hope in hell :o) dual booting is for satan, and satan only :p
besides, the whole idea of moving to LTSP is
1: ALOT less issues to deal with as EVERYTHING is done on the server
2: _zero_ money being paid to microsoft for their ridiulously over priced
"licenses"
3: easier for me to do :p
