I have next to no experience myself setting these things up. But w2k Server has the
Terminal Server functionality built in. How
expensive it is i don't know, but MS will tell you on their webpages i think.
But it works like a charm in the places i have installed ltsp and they have a setup
for terminal servers already. It's a strange thi8ng to
see MS apps on a KDE desktop ;-)

There are some for unix, but nothing for linux afaik.
you could run irix and sgi h/w and have some nice things,
but it wouldn't be cheap.
