Here is another thinclient terminal server distro, this one developed
with schools in mind, however schools and offices have many parallels.

We have two old machines sitting around the office (both are something
like Pentium 200 MHz with 64 MB of RAM) and we have a visitor for a
few months with no computer to use at the moment. I'd like to make
one of those a useful terminal, probably just something that could run
X so the user could ssh to another machine and run programs on the
remote machine. Is anyone aware of a good (preferably easy to setup
and manage) distro for what I want that will work on that sort of
hardware?
I'm not sure if this is exactly what people mean when they say "thin
client", but I thought that was the right direction, so I did some
looking. I found, for example, ThinStation
http://thinstation.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/ThIndex
which looks like it might work. I'm wondering if any of you have
tried doing something like this and have suggestions as to a best
bet. As I said, ease is a pretty big priority here, so a fairly
ready-made solution is what I'm seeking.
