Hi Ed,

In going through the short document of DIET-PC briefly, my first 
understanding is it is a thin client of M$Win2K. server.  But it needs to 
run a small program to connect the remote Win2K server.  (If I am wrong 
please correct me).  In such case it still needs a small hard disc unless 
the said program can run on a floppy.  Can M$ thin clients use the resource 
of Win2K server to work ?

Where shall be the right place for us to continue our discussion ???  Here 
is LTSP

In fact I am not quite clear of Bill's requirement.  Whether he needs to 
add a LTSP to the existing Win2K network and M$ thin clients can boot 
either LTSP or Win2K using their resource to work respectively.  That is 
what I am interested to learn.

Thanks

Stephen Liu
