Chris Hellier showed us a diskless LTSP setup a couple of years ago. For old

very enthused by it.
The explora 451 basically works in the same way, downloads a kernel by
tftp, mounts a remote filesystem and runs X over the network, so that your
server is basically running all your apps.
However the only present way to do it is to use the proprietary NCDWare kernel
and executables. People are trying to get both netbsd and linux running on
them, but the proprietary hardware is getting in the way.
I have half a dozen of them from Craig Falconer, ready to make a
classroom exercise out of (or an installed space).
Happy to share,
Rik
