He also aparently missed the fact that this is a "Single user single desktop maybe not even networked". LTSP involves building a fairly sturdy server and saving your money on multiple served workstations, noth the case here.
I've often wondered, given the cost of the server required, at what point you actually start saving money with LTSP by reconditioning existing PC's instead of buying new, low-end (sub $300) workstations and using a peer-to-peer network.
