Laptop thin client.

[Philipp Schröder]

Hi,

I would also appreciate any help on this matter!

I would like to use two laptops as a minimal, *mobile demo setup* to be
able to demonstrate to schools/interested parties how Edubuntu works: My
newer laptop as server and the old laptop (PCMCIA) as thin client!

Greetings, Philipp
