I find it interesting, we had some DRBL discussion quite a while back,
and I'm interested in all the renewed enthusiasm around it.

In particular, I'd like to find out more about what DRBL offers that
"ltsp-build-client --fat-client --fat-client-desktop ubuntu-desktop"
wouldn't give you? From what I've read it seems like DRBL and LTSP's
functionality there is pretty much the same (except that DRBL uses NIS
instead of LDM to handle authentication, and that it uses NFS instead of
SSHFS). Could you elaborate on what makes DRBL interesting? I'd love to
hear!
