Linux Terminal Server Project. It's a package of software including a 
Linux kernel, X server, etc that's designed to be network booted and to 
connect back to an XDMCP server. The LTSP includes the core netboot 
software and kernel, plus some installation scripts and instructions to 
set up the rest (TFTP, DHCP, XDMCP, etc).

It's pretty easy to get going.

The netbooted machines don't need disks, and can be booted over PXE, 
using an Etherboot bootrom, or using Etherboot code on a floppy disk. 
The user's interaction with the terminal is usually limited to turning 
it on and waiting for the server login screen to appear. You can see the 
same thing by runnning:

Xnest :1 -query localhost

after enabling XDMCP on your display manager (XDM/GDM/KDM), and 
installing Xnest:

As above. I built from source not long after version 4 came out, and was 
using version 3 well before that, but I believe v4 RPMs are now availible.
