There has been recent discussion on this exact topic, relating to an IBM solution, as well as a rather cheap SOYO combination right now, the soyo not necessarily being a thin client, but could be setup as one. In my latest venture I am working on building a LTSP kiosk. The soyo solution in my case would be a little cheaper, but it still required network card. At anyrate, you should definitely search the list, there are plenty of discussions about the netvista's, the jamming series of products as well. At anyrate, there are a number of quick discussions on this subject throughout the list. Check the archives, within in the past month there have been atleast two in depth discussions...

Greetings list, I am about to plundge myself into this topic and would like a little help from all of you all. I've sucessfully installed the LTSP 3.0 package's on my linux server (SuSE 8.0) and have a number of "normal" PC's booting happly up into a KDE3 Terminal. Now what kind of "thin client" hardware can I buy to do just this Job WITHOUT using a normal PC. I've been searching the internet and find a number of thin clients. Like SUN and HP's or Compac. These have operating systems pre installed Windows CE or Java or Some have Linux on board. A "thin client" for a LTSP 3.0 boot would ONLY need a BOOTP active Prom and NO operating system. Can something like this be bought and could someone point me to a "What to buy" list. Or what have any of you sucessfully installed into a LTSP / Linux Server network. I've already looked on the LTSP Website and not found any documentation. May I just don't know what to look for yet. By the way I have my eye on a thin client "Sun Ray 1". http://www.sun.de/Produkte/Hardware/ThinClients/ray1.html Will this do the trick? my best regards, Stefan ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: See the NEW Palm Tungsten T handheld.
