thin clients only with fascist sysadmin

Thin clients work ok in an enterprise situation where everyone is told exactly what they may do. And perhaps using a linux based solution would be an advantage there if it meant nobody understood their environment well enough to request changes.

But if you don't have an anal-retentive sysadmin who refuses to make any changes or provide any services, and cannot be countered, stay away from thin clients.

Even pretending that your clients will be locked down is no protection if management or workers are allowed to request changes.

Otherwise you wind up with 30 workers all wanting to cusomise the server -- where their environment runs -- and that is not a happy experience.
