We have a few wyse terminal on citrix here, they are not compatible with ltsp since it's a propritary asoftware on propritary hardware and we have not been able to pxe boot them either. what i will recomend it www.vxl.co.uk they sell linux based thinklients that you can pxe boot think it's called TC3531-LI or TC3533-LI, you can allso use the GIO interface to connect to the thinkserver without pxe booting. i have found them to work well and i think the price was nice too. its based on a via epia board and with a bios change you can boot from pxe ( you need to call them to get a bios password) with regards -- Ronny Aasen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
