I was thinking in that direction too, but I am afraid that it may turn out to be quite complicated. For a small kiosk-application, only running Netscape or similar, I would still need (a link to) the Netscape binary, icewm, all the necessary libraries, icons etc etc; and I need to configure everything to work properly with the chrooted pathnames. But I think it's the only way to go if I run apps on the server. That's why I was thinking of running local apps on the client, since all that work has essentially been done there already. Assuming that the visible file system is then limited to the ltsp root-fs (/opt/ltsp/i386), am I correct?
