Ideally you would want the LTSP server to have a higher bandwidth than the clients, 
so if you're providing the clients with 100mbps then a 1gbps connection for the

Perhaps, its 10/100 so ideally rob said for the server and ltsp stuff it
needs to be 1000mbps

however if we ever get this thing finished it may come in handy for a
future project

Comments anyone.

Really? Thats a lot of bandwidth - a 'terminal' shouldn't need anywhere
near that - do you need 1Gbit BB for one machine?

This could be a terminology thang:
I'd call an n port switch a 1G switch if each of the n ports can deliver 1G
I'd call an n port switch a 100M switch if each of the n ports can deliver 100M even if their was an upstream connection of 1G. A 24 port one of these would be adequate in somewhere with a lot of idiots downloading and burning DVD's!
