Just out of curiosity, how do you compare Terminal Server and PXE?
I knew the term "Terminal Server" when I knew grml, and only within the grml community. The outside world seems to be interested in PXE instead. So I like to know the reason behind why grml chose Terminal Server over PXE.
Here are the homeworks I've done:
The only "Terminal Server" I found on the web seems to related with KNOPPIX http://knoppix.manty.net/ http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/KNOPPIX_Terminal_Server
[...]
That's exactly where it derives from. We decided to use the same Knoppix slang/wording so users can move from Knoppix to grml as simple/easy/fast as possible.
I'm aware that it's not 100% accurate though I don't see any way how to rename it without confusing our users nowadays. ;)
