This is an application server with a bunch of terminals that hang off of it. The idea is to have "instant on" for stuff like Gimp, Scribus, Inkscape, LibreOffice, and whatnot which I'm thinking would live on the SSD. The data files, caches and so on would be in the user's home directories and a big shared directory, all on the standard hd as usual.
