The traditional GLLUG Way has been to run a terminal server on some
reasonably powerful hardware and connect users to it through thin
clients. The only things you really need on the client side is the
ability to netboot and run an X session. Older hardware is perfect for
this. It's a great way to deploy a dozen (or more) modern Linux desktops
on the cheap.
