I take it by "think client", you actually mean "thin client" ?

Yes thin client sorry . Its small hard disk 2GB of RAM and 2 GB disk .

Have you looked at distrowatch ?

Why not just download a "lightweight distro" ?

I had briefly played with ThinStation many years ago for the same purpose.

The most important consideration is the weight of the GUI. LXDE is the lightest desktop environment.

I always had a soft spot for Enlightenment, which seemingly is marginally more lightweight than LXDE. They could be considered the same size, but two different concepts entirely.

tinycore is extremely small, and if only using it to rdp, should be adequate. would only have to check whether a suitable RDP client is available.
