Dear Salvatore,

	I saw from previous POST in this thread that some guys suggested  an 
LTSP (www.ltsp.org) or K12LTSP (www.k12ltsp.org) based architecture. You 
should give a look to both projects 'cause if you have one machine being 
usable as a "server" (lot of ram, lot of CPU and lot of disk) [K12]LTSP 
can save you lot of time in setup and configuration.

	If you need help, feel free to ask.

	Furthermore, maybe it would be useful, for you, to give a look to this 
article:
	http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=6349
...as far as I remember, although being not based on LTSP, it should 
contain lot of useful suggestions.

	Hope this help.

Cheers,
Damiano
