Other way around.  Thin client means that the client is low horsepower
and is really just displaying an exported display of the apps that are
running on the server.

You might be right.  Buchan I think posted a message about how to
convert it to run on the server instead of the clients, but it's
untested, so I don't know if it will work for you.  I know LTSP will do
exactly what you want though.
