Yeah, I read about that last night.  I'm wondering if using this method,
it would be possible to still have a minimal install of Ubuntu with just
X and a couple of other components and have X on the terminal query the
server, kinda like what LTSP already does, but with the advantage of
being able to add applications to run locally too.

Hope that makes sense?
