Thin-client? info

A friend ha just acquired two old machines from work. One 850MHz, one
450MHz. We've run a live CD on both and everything works. As he prefers
Kubuntu they're a bit sluggish so we thought of using both machines
together, with one as a terminal and the other a server. We read a bit
of info on the net and they always recommend a powerful machine as the
server, but this is with multiple terminals. As this is just going to
be the one terminal I thought we should use the most powerful machine
fir that as the graphics would be the most CPU intensive. It has an old
matronix video card with out direct rendering.
Anybody else set up any thing like this or have any thoughts before we
start the very slow installation process.
