Yeah. LTSP uses the same thing. I'm not at all impressed.

Though a UML might be an option.

I upgraded Evolution on my RH8 terminal server at work. After looking at
the main instructions, I went hunting mirror sites and soon found a
useful one with an up-to-date /pub/ximian . It's easy to download the
required RPMs and install them yourself, and a lot less scary.

AFAIK 1.4 doesn't contain Connector and 1.5/2.0 needs to be built from
source for most distros right now.
