Well, I think it will be available some time next week, but I can
ask Martin about that.

A online repository? We already have that. :-)

OpenOffice? It is also already done. :-)
It is not in the release archive due to its size...

And that it is a bit more complicated comes from the fact that we
need to add some configuration and startup wrappers around the
programs so that the system is manageable within our system.

That's also very easy.

Just don't put the next-server and filename options to the global
section of the DHCP server but create a group containing your
desktop PCs and put the options in there. Create a second group
in DHCP containing the ThinClients and only issue them their IP
addresses as they will get those options from the OTC server.

Then, in the OTC management, you have to configure just those PXE
Clients that are really ThinClients.

OTC server and the other DHCP/PXE server have to be on different
servers though because they need to occupy the same TCP/UDP ports.
