Tip of the Trade: Edubuntu
When you need to set up a computer lab, classroom or meeting room in a hurry, look no further than Edubuntu, "Linux for Young Human Beings." Edubuntu is targeted at the classroom, but it's a dandy Linux terminal server for all occasions. You can literally have an entire network up and and running in an hour.
Edubuntu, like all good Linuxes, supports older hardware well. So you can collect a motley assemblage of leftover and castoff PCs, put them to useful work, and spend almost no money. You'll need a reasonably stout machine for the server, but the minimum requirements for thin clients is a Pentium II with 48MB RAM and a 2MB display card. This is pretty feeble, and you should have at least Pentium II/300 with 64MB RAM and a 4MB display card to get satisfactory performance.
