That's the way I was leaning. I've not read anything about it yet except to load up ltsp.org once. I was hoping that ltsp would work with these machines cause I know a guy at my users group that has it running in his house. I'm sure he's even done a presentation on it. ;-)

I haven't seriously played with Novell since 4.11. I'm sure that the 5.1 they are installing this summer is a different beast. They keep saying things like "Zenworks is so cool!" and "Bordermanager will keep those kids off all those nasty sites!". right.
