Hi Christoffer,

Regarding the Cisco ASA, it's basically a firewall that also supports the TFTP protocol, and that can function as a pxe server. This would make enrolling the solution as easy as plugging a USB stick into the firewall and configuring it.

The big question, i think, is wether or not an image could be built on one X2go TCE server, and transferred to the ASA for delivery.

That should be possible, if the ASA also supports NFSv3 or NFSv4 exports for the thin client chroot environment.

The thin client boots like this:

 o DHCP request by thin client, waiting for TFTP server and filename
 o the TFTP boot env is provided by syslinux, this basically loads the
   linux kernel (and initrd)
 o then the kernel will mount the root filesystem via NFSv3 (read-only)
 o now the system continues booting from the NFSv3 root filesystem

Greets,
Mike
