That is not so! It uses RAM to run a Thin Client and as a complication the Xserver *can* use some of the RAM too. Showing the desktop is because of the Thin Client being a KEYBOARD MOUSE and DISPLAY on the server. Unless you fiddle-under-the-cover NOTHING you ever type click or see has anything whatsoever to do with your thin client. (What I mean is that it is possible to configure things so that you talk to and see the thin client machine, it's just not the usual mode of operation. There are other thin clients to LTSP where you can't do this) > > > What about the fact that when i use the client and if i write "free" > or > > I use "top" commands i see the ram and the swap of the server and > not > > the one of the client? > > You are logged into the server.
