Nice to know that more installations are on it's way at our nearest
neighbour :-). You can probably forward this answer to?

I don't know if NoMachine (NX-server) will be included in Knoppix 3.6.
Skolelinux/Debian Edu has a dialog with LTSP's Jim McQuillan and
Finn-Arne Johansen and a couple of other persons to get this into
Skolelinux.
That said, there are some limitations on bandwidth anyway. Media rich
applications need more bandwidth compared to text-oriented
applications. This influences us in how we have to thing when using the
LTSP-technology. Half thick diskless client is probably a solution.
This can be "easily done" with LTSP 4.0. Today Skolelinux uses LTSP
3.0.X ...

I'm don't know. We know of a couple of HP-persons to ask, and the
debian-edu-list is a good place to start. Why don't join in?
