I'm pretty sure edubuntu has the LTSP server installed by default:
http://edubuntu.org/

"Regular" Ubuntu also has the LTSP server/client packages. This is from 8.10:
$ aptitude search ltsp
p ltsp-client - LTSP client environment
p ltsp-client-core - LTSP client environment
p ltsp-manager - Ubuntu LTSP server management GUI
p ltsp-server - Basic LTSP server environment
p ltsp-server-standalone - Complete LTSP server environment
p ltspfs - Fuse based remote filesystem for LTSP thin
p ltspfsd - Fuse based remote filesystem daemon for LT
p python-ltsp - provides ltsp related functions

HTH,
Chris

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPFatClients

- - get two nics in a machine
- - boot from the Ubuntu alternate CD
- - select your language, hit F4, choose "Install LSTP Server"
- - choose Install Ubuntu
- - proceed and follow the instructions

I had a little trouble, both my NICs got assigned 192.168.0.1 although
the install proceeded just fine and did indeed have net access.
Manually editing /etc/network/interfaces and setting one (eth0 in my
case) to DHCP solved it. The "Configuring APT..." step of the install
took a long time but did indeed complete. NetworkManager did not work
well with this and I may submit a bug about my problems but for now I
don't have enough information. I've turned it off under "Sessions" in
Preferences.

You don't necessarily have to use Edubuntu. The Ubuntu alternate CD has
an option to install an LTSP server. At the end of the installation, if
I recall, it will create the necessary configuration for your thin
clients to be able to boot. You can run whatever desktop or windowing
manager you want. You don't necessarily have to run Gnome. I'm running
KDE via LTSP with no problems.
