Edubuntu contains a technology called "LTSP" (Linux Terminal Server development program, Linux Terminal Server project) that allows teachers to start a batch of "thin clients" through a Edubuntu "LTSP server" (Thin Clients). In the teaching environment, the old computer can be regarded as "thin client", and just install and maintain the relevant application software on a "LTSP server". Each "thin client" can fully share the software resources on the LTSP server over the LAN.
