I will check with our sales guys. Shipping to Poland or somewhere else in the EU should not be much of a problem. They will get back to you. > Above recommended hardware for thin clients should be published on OTC > website, the requirements for server could also be updated - no info on Well, we thought about that and had to realise that if we compile a list of models that work then we would never even come close to a complete list, wouldn't you agree? And an incomplete list would lead to the probably wrong conclusion that the system in question is not supported or working. I would rather classify compatible systems as consisting of: - x86 hardware that has - standard PC BIOS, - Intel, AMD, VIA, Transmeta or compatible CPU - 128 MB RAM or more - PXE support (i.e. NIC with BIOS) - supported VGA (x.org compatible) Pretty much else is optional. Many of our own clients at the moment have: - VIA CPU 1000 - 1500 MHz, - 256 MB - 1 GB RAM, - VIA chip set, - Realtek or VIA NIC. With "standard PC BIOS" I mean that it must not have a special firmware that does nothing else but initialize the hardware and boot some OS from some kind of flash or something like that. (Some WinCE clients fall into that category.) Most thin clients on the market today are ok, most standard PCs should also work (if not too old and weak and also not too new so that hardware is supported in linux). If from one hardware manufacturer the same model is also available as Linux variant, then most probably it would work with OTC, even if you have the windows model. > server power per thin user is there (I have about 30 thin users - how > many cpu power/ram/hdd I need for comfortable work?) Hmmm, the boot server is not that demanding. Add about half a GB of RAM to what the server would need without it so that the files can be cached easily. CPU power is not that important, P4 and up would be perfect. Some free space on the HDD to install it and accomodate updates and user home dirs, I would say 10 GB should suffice a long time. -- Bye, Tobias Abt levigo systems gmbh ----------- ein unternehmen der levigo gruppe Max-Eyth-Strasse 30 Telefon: 07031 / 4161-10 D-71088 Holzgerlingen Telefax: 07031 / 4161-11 Geschäftsführer: Oliver Bausch http://systems.levigo.de/ Registergericht: Stuttgart HRB 245 180 USt-ID: DE813226078 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
