If it gets you to a point where you can 'X -query server', the software versions 
  probably don't matter much.  You really run everything from the server anyway.

I thought there used to be several projects to boot into a thin client. 
Thinstation, tcos, pxes, etc. but I haven't followed them since starting to use 
NX/freenx.
