[KLUG Members] Thin clients over an internet connection

[Paul VandenBosch]

I was reading the Linux Terminal Server Project page, 
http://www.ltsp.org/documentation/index.php , that Glenn Jacobson discussed 
in his presentation.

The project is to create systems of thin clients connected to a server, where 
a thin client is a motherboard, RAM, video card, network card, boot CD and 
player (or network card eprom), monitor and keyboard.  All the actual 
applications are run on the server.

Does anyone know if this could work over an internet connection?  
Substituting the network card for a modem or some type of internet connection 
device.

It seems that the components for the thin client are all solid 
state and could be put onto one card and encased into an unbreakable media, 
and maybe mounted underneath a keyboard.  So you connect your keyboard device 
to the internet connection cable, and to the monitor, connect to the server 
and you have a "desktop machine".

Just curious.
