The server certainly didn't shut down; the sequence was: a) boot the 1st thin client; click the lower-left button (which had no label -- I actually didn't know what to expect). b) power-up 1st thin client again, but now it no longer boots. c) boot the 2nd thin client. **So the server must have still been working at this point.** Then, just to see if my experience with the 1st one was a freaky problem with its hardware, I again clicked on the lower-left button, which powered down the 2nd thin client. d) power up the 2nd thin client, and now it no longer boots either. The server has remained alive; I have booted other machines using its DHCP and TFTP services since the episode with the 2 thin clients. > You should configure your login manager (gdm with gdmconfig, or kdm > through the KDE control center, or in the appropriate configuration > files) to not allow system shutdown from remote computers or > non-root-users.

This might make a future thin-client session more secure, but right now I'm asking for some help trying to get 2 thin clients to boot at all.
