actually, I'm sort of stuck doing almost that because I can't seem to
get older iMac's to work as thin clients on ltsp 4.2 and one of the guys
that helped with the Mac client utils says I need to look at what they
employed on k12ltsp so I'm downloading the ltsp-6-32-bit disc images
atm.
Can you issue
startx --query IPADDRESS :1
from the iMac? I assume you have already installed the X11 from apple
and can issue a "startx" (or "startx :1"?) from the X11 terminal and
get the grey screen with the X.
I had this set up some time ago - an old iMac connecting to FC2 ala LTSP 4
If the Mac is running 10.3/10.4 OSX, grab the free NX client at
http://www.nomachine.com/download-client-macosx.php and run it against
freenx on fedora. Unless the reason you want to run as a thin client is
that it won't boot anymore... There are lots of advantages compared to
a normal remote X session.
