Integrated graphics cards on clients!!
It's sis6502. I found no X driver for that card and used vesa driver. 
Slow. Slooooow.
Well, it's slow in windows95, too, you can see that slow scrolling efect 
and it was much worse in X.

Server is P4 3.0GHz, 1GB RAM, 100Mb/s network card connected to 100Mb/s 
switch, Linux Mandrake 10.1.

Clients (12) are HP Vectras VE (P166, 32MB RAM, sis chipset, integrated 
sis graphics and 10Mb/s network cards).

I will try to find some PCI graphics card and try ltsp again.

This year I need to teach some web desing/programming and xhtml and want 
to do that in quanta.
