Yes, I know it sounds funny. You can work locally from a remote location. I am specifically referring to use of LTSP. I am managing a server for a company, and I will be placing the server in an air conditioned server room; and I don’t want to sit in that room all day long. I installed an LTSP server so I can sit in the main office and boot a PXE enabled computer from the system. LTSP allows you to login directly to the server from a remote location. The desktop environment will be exactly the same as if you were sitting in front of the machine. The only difference is the LDM  login screen, which technically you can change to anything including GDM.

I want to take the graphics card out of the server; its a nice Nvidia card; in the end I will not being doing what I want because I cannot leave the server completely without local video capabilities. I will be relying on the motherboard integrated Intel video chipset on the PXE enabled computer. It will server its purpose. I will be taking the 1080p capable monitor from the server, to use on the client; this I can get away with. Its a nice system and a pleasure to manage.
