Hello all. I'm pretty new to Linux and to the LTSP project, but I ran across something on the web for really cheap ($12.95!) and wondered if it could work as a thin client. Seems like, if it would, a bit of fiddling would be involved. Sorry if this is a stupid question. Anyway, here's the link: http://www.softwareandstuff.com/h_misc_webpal.html . Description follows:
