Hi

I'm going to build a laboratory for Eclipse programmers. There are going 
to be about 8 work places. So there are 2 possible sollutions:

=======
* thin clients -> terminals and big, strong server
* everything is running on the server and clients are only displaying 
user's screen from the server
* server is a profiles' repository and execution environment
=======
* big clients -> PCs and not too strong server
* server is a profiles' repository but everything is executing on the 
client's computer
=======

Which one would you suggest? There are 2 things that matter: the price 
and the usability/stability.

Pozdrowienia,

Personally, I try to keep programmers off of a terminal server because they 
tend to do crazy things.  I do know companies that have programmers on TS 
though.

With respect to Terminal Server, you can check out information on Windows 
Server 2003 TS at:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/technologies/terminalservices/default.mspx

You might be specifically interested in the case studies and on the TS 
Scaling and Performance whitepapers.  Here are the quick links:
