As more people will point out, the description is 60 chars or less, with
a longer description following.

So a quick desc (mainly from ltsp.org) would be:

Description: creates remote terminals out of cheap hardware
The LTSP provides a simple way to utilize low cost workstations as
either graphical or character based terminals on a GNU/Linux server.
Utilizing the LTSP, you can take very low-end PCs, remove the hard
drive, floppy and CDRom, and add a bootable network card. Many network
cards have bootrom sockets, just waiting for a bootrom to be inserted.
.
Workstation can be configured as remote Graphical X Window, Character
based telnet session, or a local shell prompt.
.
LTSP has been known to scale to 40 workstations running Netscape and
StarOffice utilizing a dual PIII-650 server with 1GB ram.
