So that you can run every single binary installed on the server on any
of the clients, so you can use it for thick-clients also, without having
to have multiple copies of everything as you do when using something
like LTSP.

Well, there is already LTSP, which works fine on Mandrake also. So, you
have a choice. Use LTSP if you have really thin clients (Pentium or
slower), or Mandrake's terminal-server if you have thicker (ie Pentium
MMX or better) clients.
