For a single pc home, there's no cost advantage to a thin client. However, if you've got a computer in Jimmy and Sally's room, and Mom's got hers for looking up woodworking projects, and Dad keeps his for his stamp collection, then there's even savings to be had there. Scott
Really fantastic summary of the enviromental element to LTSP Scott. When the people who have been writing in the thread about $600 thin clients, what particular devices have they been talking about? It should be possible to get a mini-itx motherboard, case and bootable NIC for less than $200 shouldn't it? Are we talking about with a monitor and keyboard etc? I'm in the UK, so I'm not that conversant with USD, but here's an example pre-built box, costed in GBP, which even looks a bit overspecified for most LTSP situations: http://mini-itx.com/store/?c=27 I would really like to here what thin client devices people are using out there, as all the systems I have built use old boxes as clients (and in fact reconditioned servers as the servers too). -- -- Ben Green ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
