  ===== History, Rationale, Outlook =====
  
  During the time of Debian Wheezy being Debian's
stable release, we started developing a new ThinClientEdition then called TCE-Next Generation, or TCE-NG for short - one that is based on Debian-Live and thus does no longer rely on NFS (though NFS can still be used to deploy the image - but we strongly discourage that approach).  Instead, the entire image is loaded into the RAM of the ThinClient machine.  To avoid confusion, and because it has since left the "NG" state, we now call it TCE-Live.

  We've also received reports that TCE-Classic wouldn't work with Jessie, or at least it was very hard to get it to work.
  Our TCE-Live works just fine with Jessie, and we expect it to work in Stretch and hopefully in Buster (Stretch+1) as well.
  The one catch is that the live-build package in Debian/the Debian-Live project is currently looking for a new maintainer - so there is a slim chance that live-build might be removed from Debian Buster, especially if no new maintainer steps up and the live-build replacement that
is currently in the works (called live-wrapper) contains all the required functionality of live-build by then.

    * At least 1 GB of RAM //unless// you use non-NTFS local storage, in that case, 512MB or even 256MB might work
    * For clients with less than 1 GB of RAM and no local storage, you could also use ''httpfs='' or ''ftpfs='' instead of ''fetch='', or ''netboot=nfs nfsroot=ip-of-your-server-here:/path/to/x2go-tce-filesystem.squashfs'' when netbooting, but this will make you dependent on an uninterrupted network connection again
    * At least an i586-compatible CPU
    * Capability to boot via PXE //or// sufficient local storage (expect 250-450 MB, depending on what you decide to include)
