During the time of Debian Wheezy being Debian's stable release, we started
developing a new ThinClientEdition (TCE) - one that is based on Debian-Live and
thus does no longer rely on NFS. Instead, the entire image is loaded into the
RAM of the ThinClient machine.
The disadvantage is that your ThinClient now needs at least 1 GB of RAM (see below).
- However, the huge advantage is that there no longer is a need for any high-availibility setup concerning NFS. All you need is an
HTTP or FTP server with a dedicated IP, if you want to use netbooting. It is
also possible to deploy the image to the ThinClient's local storage, if
present, and have it update in the background. Also, making changes/updating
the NFS-based TCE was rather finicky - with the current TCE, you build and
deploy a new image every time you make a change, and you can test it on a
single client without interrupting your production environment.

a portable version of both X2Go-TCE and X2goClient for Windows, sharing the same
configuration, on CD/DVD/USB media.
We've also received reports that the old NFS-based TCE wouldn't work with Jessie, or at least it was very hard to get it to work.
Our current TCE works just fine with Jessie, and we expect it to work in
Stretch and hopefully in Buster (Stretch+1) as well.
- The one catch is that the live-build package in Debian/the Debian-Live
project is currently looking for a new maintainer - so there is a slim chance
that live-build might be removed from Debian Buster, especially if no new
maintainer steps up and the live-build replacement that is currently in the
works contains all the required functionality of live-build by then.

===== ThinClient prerequisites for all variants =====
* At least 1 GB of RAM
* At least an i586-compatible CPU
