My latest bit of excitement in my life .....yes its that good ! has been to set up a thin client ....WHAT ? I hear you say ....it is when you use the processor and memory of your server "Fat client " to run your client (thin)computer . The thin client only uses the keyboard - display and graphics card so does not need a hard drive and can be fairly old .
I achieved this using good old Ubuntu and booting from the network . get in touch if you want to know more .....I will send you the links ...
next time I introduce you to the world of ssh and secure file transfer .
