A stripped down PC, has a Core2 6400 at 2.13GHz with 2GB of RAM and an Intel NIC. Runs CentOS6 and is used purely to get RDP sessions on other boxes and display a zenoss dashboard. All the thin clients suck as they mostly don't seem to support 1920x1200 resolutions and/or dual monitors. > > > > > > > > > Would it involve a special output device for Linux media players > > > (mplayer, kaffeine, etc) plus Multimedia Redirection on the > > > server? > > > > > > Seems that the freedrp client already supports that: > > > > > > http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff817595%28WS.10%29.aspx > > > > > > > Basically yes.

How viable this is I don't know however. JAB. -- Jonathan A.
