I need a no frills, secure distro with X capabilities (fat client-turned-thin) 
so as to boot from hard disk directly to a Citrix ICA Client session.

So far I've investigated LTSP and PXES (pxes.sourceforge.net), but both 
projects appear to be concerned with providing a terminal server environment, 
and not so much a client (or where they do, the client is truly thin).  But 
neither site is overly clear on this, so please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm considering hardened Gentoo and LFS for their configurability (to keep the 
cruft down and performance up -- the clients are old machines).  I've also 
investigated a good number of floppy/CD-based mini-distros, but nothing 
really fit the bill out-of-the-box.

As importantly, if not more so, I'll need a good way to image a hundred or so 
workstations over the network with the distro.  I am clueless about how to do 
this.

Suggestions?

Thanks,
Curtis
