I'm looking for an open source, non-proprietery solution to this problem, any help would be appreciated. I'd like to setup a server running Ubuntu Server. I'd then like to connect to this server from a stateless thin client and use an x-session. This would occur mostly over local area networks, but also possibly over the internet.

  • What would be the ideal set of software to accomplish this from a security, and usability standpoint?

  • Are there any ready-made stateless thin clients that don't require proprietery software?

  • LTSP. ltsp.org Browse around their site for a links to vendors that sell hardware.

LTSP like Zoredache suggested in his comment would be my first choice. Best options in terms of support and ease-of-setup/maintenance.

Using VNC (X2VNC or similar) and port forwarding over SSH would be my secondchoice. See the SSH man page, specifically the part about port forwarding.

Another option would be a point-top-point VPN connectivity (so you could use the normal X11 remote session functionality)
