Comment:
fix camel case
* The client root filesystem is provided using NBD (Network Block Device). After each modification to the LTSP server or chroot the related NBD image has to be re-generated; run {{{ltsp-update-image}}} on the LTSP server.
=== Thin clients ===
- A thin client setup enables ordinary PCs to function as (X-)terminals. This means that the machine boots directly from the server using PXE without using the local client hard drive. The thin client setup now uses X2Go, because LTSP has dropped supporting.

Thin clients are a good way to still make use of very old (mostly 32-bit) machines as they effectively run all programs on the LTSP server. This works as follows: the service uses DHCP and TFTP to connect to the network and boot from the network. Next, the file system is mounted from the LTSP server using NBD, and finally the !X2Go client is started.
