Success with the HP 5510,15,20 and 30, and the 5700, 5710 and 5710
All using the Geni586 image
Larger flashes are available as a direct replacement from Transcend. MUCH less expensive than the HP ones. Unplug one, plug in the Transcend, boot the machine with DSL Linux, dd the image to the new flash, run the setup script after reboot, and it's ready for customization in an hour or less.

For $150 it's worth a punt!

Isn't that kind of expensive??
Given the HP thin clients going for a song on eBay. Update them with a Transcend larger flash and they run AstLinux well. Some even have a PCI slot, though the expansion parts are rare, and some have expandable ( beyond 128M ) memory, all have an Ethernet port, 4 USB ports, a Serial and VGA, and many have a PS/2 keyboard port as well.

Will AstLinux work with an ARM processor??

John Novack

The BeagleBoard looks pretty interesting, but as John said, is spendy compared to what you can get elsewhere. Also there is the added complication of an ARM-based CPU.

Over time, I'm sure more linux distributions will have ARM builds are first class citizens, especially as the ARM-based netbooks start penetrating the market.

John: which models of the HP thin clients have you had success with?
