Re: Audio support

Not really. Most PXES thin clients have now 128MB RAM or more
and 100Mb/1000Mb network. Increasing the size of the image is
not a big deal. The only problem I'm concerned of if the
security implicancies of including this kind of software. But,
 even including vulnerable software, PXES image is read only
by nature.
