Rob >> networked (via GB ethernet ?)
This is very unnessary, each RDP client only requires 256Kbps so 10Meg would satify 40 Clients 100Mb 400!, RDP is a lot thinner than X and this is the main advantage of TS (at the moment!) though there is now a lot more interest in these type of platforms for Linux see http://eltoday.com/article.php3?ltsn=2002-12-11-001-15-NW What I'd like to see is an RDP Server for Linux >> TS machine might use IP networking Absolutely, no other option >> TS just knowing that we can setup printers at the >> client end that can be printed to by our Server application is sufficient The only limit would be 'noisy' print jobs on a modem link also you prob want to limit to 256 colours and no annoying animations!
