[Pkg-ltsp-devel] About Fat Clients

Hi there,
I'm now planning to deploy Debian on about 40-50 machines but while
some of them are really old and would benefit on running things on a
server some of them can handle all processing power by themselves,
therefore; Is there any Fat Client support? so they use LTSP to get
the rootfs and so but run apps locally, not on the server. While still
being able to have some other boxes to use LTSP normally.

Or do you recommend me another approach? I thought about FAI but not
all the desktops have hardisks (actually those use PXES to boot and
connect agains a Windows 2003 Terminal Server).

Cheers,
Marc.
