Many thanks to all who have replied to my question. I have finally managed
to set up RPi as a thin client, it works quite smoothly. I have followed
the tutorial written by Harry Lavender (
http://www.uzerp.com/blog/running-raspberry-pis-as-thin-clients-with-ubuntu-14-04-lts/),
but with ubuntu-12.04.5-server-amd64, as Floris Bos suggested.
Best regards
