Sounded interesting. I just checked the HPaq website though, and the t5300 and t5500 are only listed as using Windows (XP or CE) and cost $3,500 to $3,800. No mention of Linux anywhere on their thin client page, even as an option.
Why is it that big oem pc makers are all so duplicitous in their support for Linux? Telling us what we want to hear, and then telling a Windows-only story to the rest of the world...
I'm not saying you can't get these with Linux or that you won't be able to, just ticked that they aren't telling the world through their website about the LTSP option.

"The company also has two new thin clients -- stripped-down PCs that
rely on a central server for computing horsepower. The Compaqt5300 and
t5500, based on Transmeta processors, plug into central Linux servers
through technology from the Linux Terminal Server Project, which is a
project closely affiliated with education customers."
