Someone could bring this back on-topic by coming up with a modification
to the iso that would make it start X -query ltsp automatically
so it would work to boot laptops or other hardware that won't
network boot as a thin client.
Or, for faster desktops, make it authenticate to your central system,
NFS mount your home directory and run as a fat client with a
local desktop and perhaps some icons to run certain apps on an
application server elsewhere. Some DNS naming conventions should
be all it takes to make this fairly generic.
