Ok, but a browser started from a diskless workstation is loaded from the 
server. In that case the same browser image can be loaded using the same 
"real-directories' mounted thru NFS.

Does this mean that I only need ONE browser certificate? I got 5 each 
about $100 per certificate. When using ltsp I just need 1 ?
