The Linux Terminal Sever Project is a solution for low cost desktop computing either in graphical or text based terminals on GNU/Linux server. Using LTSP, you can take a low-end PC, remove the hard drive, floppy and CDRom, and add a bootable network card. Many network cards have bootrom sockets that are just waiting for a bootrom to be inserted.

During boot phase, the workstation gets its IP and kernel from the server, then mounts the root filesystem via NFS. After the workstation is completly up, it can make use of any application on the server if it is being used in graphical mode. It can also use multiple telnet sessions to the server. Each telnet session will be on a different virtual screen. Alt+{F1 to F9} will switch between sessions.
