Ok OK I have succeeded with instaling a LTSP 2.1.1 server with 2 ethernet
cards for one of our labs here.   Basically followed the defaults Eric had
set up and tweaked the video a bit.  Otherwise good so far.  I have the
thinknics connect to a hub in the classroom to the eth0 side and the
building network connect to the eth1 side.  Now my question is how hard is
it to set it up with one ethernet card and get the thinknics to grab a
dhcp from our building network instead of the linux server then pull up
gnome desktop from the server?  Any ideas?  and what would I loose as far
as security, etc...if I set it up that way?

The reason why is because a school here wants to set a few thinknics in
each classroom and log into one server in the building.  Rather than try
and hub them all into eth0 on the server from several locations I thought
it easier to just connect to our building network to start with to access
the sever.  Is anyone else doing it that way?
