WOW! This is great to know! I'll certainly logon to www.disklessworkstations.com and look at the purchasing/distribution options for "Southern Africa" The market is ripe this side!
Just a side note: I've never managed to get successfully NASD to work - I know there we issues with Volume controls + kmixer/gnomemixer/aumix and I could only get audio playback when I used the nas packaged tools - auplay,aurecord etc... I read somewhere that ARTS supported OSS/ALSA/NAS/ESD for playback too but cannot find any documentation - thus how are you using your multimedia app through nasd? E.g. noatun/xmms/mplayer/kwave or gwave/ (my users will often need to play back a soundclip from a presentation KPresenter or StarOffice/OpenOffice presentation... Lastly, (please bear with me) I've got two similar terminals at the moment (similar to the jammin125) We were distributing them for Visionbank.com They're Windows-Based-Terminals with an Windows CE 3.0 (XP Embeded) soon to be .Net This terminals have worked well and a much more cost effective compared to the NCD Thinstars. Is there a way I can test this terminal with Linux? Surely it must be a matter of a BIOS config - e.g. too bootup of NIC and obviously I need a tftp server to server a compatible kernel. This terminals (though with CE) on them and I'm keen to get the Jammin out there too since they'll jell in well with most of our setups!

The Video chipset is the MediaGX (Geode) 5530. It is now well supported by XFree86 4.2.99, using the new 'geode' driver. > > I'm also wondering about issues like printing, will I be able to deploy CUPS > server for printing for example? You can attach a printer to the Jammin-125, and treat it as an HP JetDirect printer. CUPS should have no problem printing to it. > > What of audio and USB support? Audio is supported with the cx5530 driver and nasd. I've tested USB for printers, and it works fine.
