It would be a "killer app" for the prosuite though. Microsoft has their Windows Terminal Server, and if prosuite were to include it, it could be advertised as a terminal server requiring absolutely no client-side software (which WTS does require). It would be nice to have a standard distro include LTSP, and I am sure it would be possible to have the kernel srpm have another --with option for builing an i386 kernel for LTSP. The bloat for i386 XFree packages might be a bit much ....
