Check the XDMCP Linux how-to to get yourself started. I've tried
unsuccessfully to get a workstation to boot to a chooser, then give me
the option of selecting the machine from which to export a display.
Mandrake's config files are a mess; they keep changing locations and
some settings won't work.
There's also an X terminal how-to out there that's pretty useful.
