But the 760 is not too old to be running GNU and an X Server.
Running heavyweight programs remotely still leaves the option
of running core programs locally, so the laptop is not
tied to the local network - important for most home use,
I'm guessing.

Not that LTSP (and edubuntu's implementation thereof) isn't
great - we love it, and so do our clients :-)
