In my seemingly never ending quest for business-worthy hardware to run
astlinux on.. im wondering if anyone has ever run it on an HP T 5545
Thin client... ive heard of it on the T 5710... but I believe that's
EOL now...
I thought ALL the 55xx series were EOL, but i am no eggspurt.
I have installed AstLinux on many of the HP 55x and 57xx series, up
through the 5720, and only recently have had issues with the 0.7x
Astlinux on HP thin clients that cannot have their ram upped beyond 128
meg, such as one version of the 5520. 0.6x is OK, but once the 0.7x was
rolled out, it fails.
I use the Geni586 image exclusively.
Anyone care to comment on ways ( WITHOUT a custom build, which is beyond
my pay grade ) to slim down 0.7x to a bare bones system?
All the machines I have built are used in the Collectors Network,
primarily using SIP and IAX, little or no transcoding, and less than 5
calls.
I see there are a double handful of drivers used, but have never seen a
list of what these all are for.
Or, should I leave well enough alone for these orphans, and see if
something such as Askzonia will do the job?
IMO the other boxes you mention are too pricey for what you get. The HP
thin clients, even EOL ones, are great, and the only issues I really
have with them are mounting ( do engineers not yet understand that 15
little plastic boxes sitting on a desk or shelf doesn't make for a
professional installation? ) and availability of expansion chassis if
one wants one PCI card.
I was less than thrilled with the one ALIX box I bought.
