Re: [school-discuss] LTSP First Time

You can remove the games from the default menu. If you do not want them
to play.

Also you can get faster X terminals (better supported video cards) and
that may solve the problem.


I would recommend the most RAM you can get. Gives better performance.

Also get 7200 or More RPM IDE Harddisks with large capacities 

Large capacities because this is the first thing people run out of.
