Sorry I can't give a really specific answer re Linux on the EOne, but the requirements for an LTS client are pretty much limited to X compatibility on the machine. As a preliminary test, I've found that booting Linux from CD (several options available - e.g., Knoppix, SuSE Live) can prove helpful in determining general Linux compatibility. ---------------------------------------------------------------- John Karns [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
