on the goodwill front, take a few photos and forward those along with your letters to GW
corp to your local newspaper.
either they will change their ways or people will stop donating

I've taken to calling our local GoodWill "IllWill" instead, as they
just chuck 90% of the donated hardware into the trash, and
threaten to
call the cops when I dig it out. The *big* stinker is that they cut
whatever cords they can get their little paws on, so I end up leaving
most of the monitors...
I've written to corporate a couple of times and never gotten a reply.
Back to the OP - I also recommend LTSP. I have a pile of "garbage"
P1s and P2's that work just fine as terminals. Once you have the
server set up, adding another terminal is as easy as determining the
NIC's chipset and spitting out a boot floppy a la
rom-o-matic.net.
One major caveat: sound. In theory, it works. In practice, there's
too much lag.
