One thing to keep in mind is that thin clients need very good, reliable networking. They need low latency and suck bandwidth. In other words, untethered wifi laptops and thin clients don't mix... To say more, multimedia and thin clients is not a happy match. For a proven solution in the area, Skolelinux / Linux-edu is a fantastic thin-client setup in-a-box, it's been runnign for ages, provides lots of good tools and it'd be trivial to set the desktop to be Sugar. cheers, m -- [email protected] [email protected] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
