Thin Client or Diskless Workstation?

Just wondering if the client option provided by MythTV is a Thin
Client (centralized processing with the server's CPU and RAM used to
run applications) or a Diskless Workstation (distributed processing
with the client's CPU and RAM used to run applications)?

Regards,
Mark

Diskless. By client, I'm assuming you mean the mythtv frontend.

Its uses PXE boot to boot from the Backends storage over the network

The frontend runs on the frontend's hardware, using the frontend's cpu
and graphics processor. It can boot off the network and mount it's
filesystem over NFS, but my first sentence remains true.
