Multimedia?

The school that I'm working for is looking to convert 220+ Windows 2000 
desktops (P3s w/128MB RAM) into thin clients.  However, the big concern 
that keeps raising its head is video (ie Quicktime) and audio.

We will give everybody a choice as to what computing environment they 
want to use.  There will be both Microsoft and Linux terminal servers.  
The network is in great shape.  We will have a Gbit backbone and 100 
MBit to every terminal.  Bandwidth shouldn't be an issue.

What I really need is a way for kids (and teachers) to be able to view 
web-based video and audio while still running in a thin client 
environment.  The terminal hardware can handle it.  The bandwidth should 
handle it.  But will it work?

Is there way to run a local Linux based video/audio player in PXES?  
Would the NoMachine client be an option?

I'm looking for any ideas!

Thanks,
