Would be a good thing to discuss. The "thin client" has a large number
of definitions, sometimes differing and it also touches upon issues like
desktop environments, packaging and distributions. Currently there exist
tools which allow anyone to create "spins" having low footprint, but
generally the tools inherit the packaging issues which make such low
foot prints a bit awkward. Additionally, the bits and pieces that enable
"management" of such desktops are an interesting area of discussion as well
