If you have the "server" machine why not bring it to a KLUG newbie
meeting,  most of LTSP doesn't need to be setup on-site.  You could call
for a special meeting if you want to meet on site to setup the clients, 
but 98% of the work is on the server.  I don't have much free time,  but
I go to KLUG meetings.....
