Thanks for the patch!

I was curious, and looked up the specs on that thin client:

I was wondering if you were using SAN (iSCSI or AoE) booting with them?

It occurs to me that it would be quite an interesting project to get AoE
booting of Linux and XP working with that thin client.

Has anyone played around with this?
