Hi!

I'm interested in this thin client thing, might be useful for our old PCs. Any ideas how to set them up in GNU/Linux? I've seen distros that advertise being thin-client ready. I thought all GNU/Linux distros could run thin client.

Thanks.

Thanks to you both. I've already bookmarked LTSP. Seems like a good point to start my research on thin client. Glads to read Ubuntu and Debian has it.
