So i got the Thinstation 5.1, Kernel 3.12.15TS_SMP iso , put it onto a bootable usb, and after booting up, I have a desktop with "Terminal" and "install to HD" when i try to install I get the message "low memory" (im on a core2-duo with 2gb of ram) I though the concept behind going the *nix route was to be able to use older hardware.
On a separate note, is there a way I can just install the RDP on this bootable desktop?
