Powerful diskless client

[Michael West <web@mitzit.net>]

I have a box which I intend to use as a diskless client, but it is very
powerful for such job.  It has 320 Mb RAM.  I was wondering if there was
a way of using this to advantage.  For instance, I could run a small root 
and xserver in RAM, and connect via XDM or such for the rest.  

I don't understand enough about Xservers/clients to think through the pluses 
and minuses of this.  Any ideas?  

I have built a bootable CD for the box which runs in ramfs using timos rescue,
but have not yet put the xserver in.  Should I just use bootp and not worry
about it?
