Comment:
fix grammar

  
  For diskless workstations the terms "stateless workstations", "lowfat clients" or "half-thick clients" are also used. For the sake of clarity this manual sticks to the term "diskless workstations".
  
+ Diskless workstation work out-of-the-box when connected to main network. They don't have to be added with GOsa². 
+ 
  A diskless workstation runs all software on the PC without a locally installed operating system. This means that client machines boot directly from the server's hard drive without running software installed on a local hard drive. 
  
  Diskless workstations are an excellent way of reusing newer hardware with the same low maintenance cost as with thin clients. Software is administered and maintained on the server with no need for local installed software on the clients. Home directories and system settings are stored on the server too. 
  
  Diskless workstations were introduced as part of the Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP) with version 5.0.
- 
- They now run out-of-the-box if connected to main network -- no need to configure them in GOsa². 
  
  === Networked clients ===
