As per the Wikipedia, based on the link given above:

A thin client (or a lean client) is a network computer without a user writable long term storage device, which, in client/server applications, is designed to be especially small so that the bulk of the data processing occurs on the server. The embedded OS in a thin client is stored in a "flash drive", in a Disk on Module (DOM), or is downloaded over the network at boot-up. The embedded OS in a thin client usually uses some kind of write filter so that the OS and its configuration can only be changed by administrators.

Thin client (computing): A server-centric computing model in which the application software, data, and CPU power resides on a network server rather than on the client computer.

dili.. kay dumb terminal ra man gud ni siya.. which means, ang hard disk sa thin client kay enough ra gyud na maka padagan ug iyahang OS (na gamay pud kaau) with the RDP Client (mao ni siya ang gamiton para maka remote ka sa terminal server...

ug ang process naa na sa client pc, then dili na xa pwede tawgon na thin client.
