I agree.  I've already identified kernel issues (read only nfs root
with writable ramfs) and X configuration (I've asked one of the the
x.org maintainer to add boot time reconfiguration support there), as
well as xdm configuration (ssh tunnel, I guess).

I hope to find and sit down with Jonas to discuss sharing code while
I'm here at debconf5, but we seem to be mostly out of sync.

Yes.  Matt told me the location of his bazaar repository
(http://people.ubuntu.com/~mdz/archives/matt.zimmerman@canonical.com/
project name ltsp--main--0).

I'm new to bazaar, so do not ask me how to use it.  I used the howto
at <URL:http://bazaar.canonical.com/doc/LocallyBranchingAProject.html>
as well as personal support from to get the source out. :)
