Absolutely.
The brief was to make use of some old computers from his company,
in a local school.
Win98 must be wiped from the hard drives.
Looking at the spec, I recommended K12LTSP, and have said that
that will require a central server which is more powerful, and
with a decent amount of RAM.

I think LTSP is an ideal solution to a classroom. Just reboot the
PCs if any go wonky. Easy to introduce new (ie donated) PCs to the
network. Of course it does need someone to look after the server.
