I only make the server. No GUI. No client. Seems you make the clients.
In germany my colleagues use mostly Edubuntu or Knoppix or SuSE/Novell

I should take a new look at zenwalk ...

Last week I played with an installation on an USB stick (8 GByte - less
than 30 Euro ...). It didn't boot ... it's a new playground for me.

"Ubuntu" - an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me".
