Of course, the LTSP server is a LINUX box.  GDM/XDM authenticate users
via PAM.

Of course, Samba can use an LDAP SAM.  Although one would wonder why you
would want to introduce Samba here.  Just authenticate users via LDAP
directly.

An LTSP server to support 60 users?  Or a Samba server to support sixty
users?

An LTSP server - A WHOLE LOT OF POWER!
A Samba server - depends on the users, but you might be able to get by
with surprisingly little.
