I can say with authority that multiseat doesn't have any value *for me*. I
looked into it a long time ago and decided that LTSP was more
straightforward. These days, prices of hardware have come down enough that
other people replace their computers after only a few years and I get their
hand-me-downs. This has made even LTSP not worth my while. But I have no
idea what the situation is like for people in other parts of the world, or
for people in my part of the world with fewer financial resources.
