Re: Thin Clients

I saw a good one at the Linux show last year at the Kerry centre.  But
it used PC's.  But it was all for server based Crossover office and the
like.  Very smart and slick.

For real thin clients - I guess there are X-Terms and what sun is doing
with their Sunray system.

Try Distrowatch.com and see if there is a thin client distro.

One simple way would be to use a live cd distro on a hard drive less PC
- and then use XDMCP or Xnest to connect to a central server?

Cheers,
RF.
