** Description changed:

  Epoptes version: 0.5.3-1
  
  If one installs epoptes-client in a standalone (non-LTSP) PC which for
  some reason also has the ltsp-client package installed, then that PC is
  reported to be a fat client in the Epoptes UI, even if it was booted
  locally.
+ 
+ == SRU ==
+ [rational]
+ Epoptes reports regular workstations with ltsp-client installed as fat clients even though they didn't boot from LTSP.
+ 
+ [test case]
+ 1) Install epoptes
+ 2) Install ltsp-client
+ 3) Restart epoptes
+ 4) Start classroom manager on teacher computer
+ 
+ 4) should report the machine as a workstation, not a fat client
+ 
+ [regression potential]
+ The fix just adds a check for /proc/cmdline, the check while not perfect should match 99% of the cases where ltsp-client and epoptes are installed on a non-ltsp machine.
+ If this still doesn't match, then the client will be reported as a fat client, but overall, the logic can't be any more wrong that it's today.

  4) should report the machine as a workstation, not a fat client
