Gideon, Question for you: How is buying a thin-client from Symbio directly supporting the LTSP project ? When I say that Buying a Jammin-125 from DisklessWorkstations.Com directly supports the developers of the LTSP project, I really mean it. I am one of the owners of DisklessWorkstations.com, and I derive a part of my income from DisklessWorkstations.Com. This is how I am able to afford the enourmous amount of time I put into developing and Supporting LTSP.org. And, i'm not the only one here at DisklessWorkstations.Com who is involved with LTSP. So, please, clarify your statement about Symbio technologies giving any support at all to the LTSP project. Thank you, Jim McQuillan [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > 1) Obviously the form factor / asthetics.
