Provide solutions for netbooting and minimally installed Thin Clients on ARM boards
Ubuntu LTSP already has minimal support for arm based thin clients. Part of this spec is to provide netboot images for SD cards/NAND flash for the supported ARM hardware in Ubuntu that will automatically run LTSP on such boards. Another typical Thin Client solution is to have a minimal desktop installed locally and connect to remote servers through connection tools (rdp, citrix, x2go, ssh) from this. Both implementations should be covered by this spec.
