Hi; I was pleasantly surprised at the Knoppix CD-Rom. I booted it and was testing things and saw the "Terminal Server" entry in the menus.
I clicked it and entered a few network parameters and Wa-La! The Terminal Server was running from a CD-ROM and the thin client was running a full-blown Knoppix session, complete with OpenOffice, games educational software and so on (lots of "so on" here). It got me to thinking that in larger installations, the servers don't need to be especially smart and could be configured to boot from CD-ROMs, mount NFS partitons for persistant data (/home) and use LDAP for authentication. This would greatly reduce administration for large-scale deployment. Any thoughts on this? Is there already a software bundle for this?
