Thanks for replying!!!

Mhh...so tell me If I have understand right:
The ram of the thin client is used too, to boot kernel, to handle local 
devices, and so on, right?
But not applications, that are run on the server and so use the ram of 
the server instead, right?

I've also understand that is useless to write "free" cause it's normal I 
see the ram of the server.

During the boot of a client (is there a way to pause it so it's possible 
to read, (it's too fast)?) I have seen something about memory and swap 
so i'd like to know if there's a way to found / read the booting process 
of a client, or, in general, info about ram of a client.

Another thing: so swap for low memory client is mandatory, ok, but, if 
the clients have a disk, instead of using swap files on the server (and 
so through network), would it be possible to use swap in the local 
clients disks?
Would't it be better (about performance) having them locally than having 
them on the server (I mean the swap files)

Thanks in advance.
