We would use too, if there was a choice. Our suppliers send material on 
CD/DVD discs. I can't blame them for choosing a €1 disc over a €15 
USB-stick ;-)

We have a few HP t5000 series terminals. They have been working like a 
charm - except that my external CD-drive experiments have failed. I 
tried putting a CD-drive in a external IDE-case and plug the case with 
USB to the terminal. It worked for a while with LTSP 4, but not 5 :-(

I could perhaps give it another go since some users are on holiday and 
don't need their terminal. At least I could thoroughly debug and report 
the output... maybe we could find a working  solution?

Thanks Asmo. I will study these links. The cheapest price is not the top 
priority, though it is desired to stay below €450. Priorities:

- Works with LTSP5 and PXE boots
- Quiet. Preferably fanless
- CD/DVD-drive
- Somewhat esthetic looking, small physical size
- Price below 450-500 euros.
