Hey,
Has anyone had a play around with a "thincan" thin client with
OpenBSD? Looks like a bit of fun: http://www.artecgroup.com/thincan/
Not much is answered on thier web site, but as far as i can see it is
a thinclient (geode x86 CPU) which boots an small image (via CF or
"etherboot" protocol) containing an X server. I guess from here you
use XDMCP? The device is about the same dimensions as a soekris box,
and has only USB/ethernet and power sockets.
I suppose there are 2 levels of OpenBSD support here:
Image support - Will it boot OpenBSD?
Client support - Can it login to a remote OpenBSD X server
(independant of the image that was booted).
Nowhere near as good as Sun's Sunray clients, but a whole lot more BSD
friendly by all means.
I don't know but I love their original form factor. I'd like to get
my hands on one or two of the original cans.
