Ubuntu Thin Client : help needed at a Tibetan school in India

[Phuntsok Dorjee]

Thanks Alfred for the swift response. I have downloaded Edubuntu 6.10 
and also have Ubuntu 6.10. I ran into problem when i tried to install 
Ubuntu 6.10. I also want to know if the system requirement for Edubuntu 
6.10 is more than Ubuntu 6.10 or same??

Could someone help me with the following info.

I want to implement Ubuntu thin client for the lab to simplify 
management, configuration, software distribution, anti-virus fight. etc. 
etc. Could someone suggest what CPU and what size of RAM, Hard disk 
would we need for the Server machine for the 30 computers.

Thank you all!!
