I just can tell you. Its not that easy. I made here a large enviroment with
Linux Citrix Clients. U 
have to consider MANY security issues and the Linux ICA Client has some ugly
bugs. 
 
U get a little Debian if u install nothing after basic installation :-))  
 
For the autologin: 
Write a init script wich is executed as the last one: 
 
#!bin/bash 
 
su - autologin 
 
 
in the autologin homedrive ".bash_profile" add something like this 
 
if [ `tty` = "/dev/tty0" ] 
then 
	startx 
	logout 
fi 
 
this will prevent the init process to terminate wich means the X is running
on TTY2 and tty1 is not 
accesible by the user. When u end X the init process will terminate and u'll
get the consoles as 
usual. 
 
If u want the init process to terminate and bring u your consoles then u
have to execute "exec 
startx" instead of "startx". 
 
Have fun :-) 
 
cheers, 
Raffaele
