At work a few years back, we had a setup to do pretty much that. If I recall correctly, the pxeboot server was configured to present a boot menu to thin stations. Nothing is persisted on the thin stations.<div><ul><li>The linux menu option is to really to have a miniature X environment to launch xdm or gdm against a linux server. </li>

</div>I actually have a similar situation. I have a lab that hosts graduate<br>
student without assigned desks. Each student might need a windows OR a<br>
Linux environment to work so they need to be able to logon to either. I<br>
want a Thin client setuip that lets them choose what they want to do and<br>
then connects them to a centralized resource. When they log out, it<br>
resets for the next person. This gets rid of Dual Boot machines and<br>
running virtual machines on every local machine.<br>
<br>
I figure someone must have done this before.<br>
