ltsp

We want to use a thin client solution in our small company: about 20 PCs. But connecting from home is needed, too.

Ubuntu seems to favor LTSP, but on the x2go FAQ says that LTSP is not well suited for WAN connections:

LTSP requires a high bandwidth on your network. 
It can efficiently be used in Local Area Networks (LANs) only.

We tested the x2go client and it works very well even if you connect from home (2k DSL) over OpenVPN tunnel (fat client)

Why should you use LTSP and why x2go?
