[NTLUG:Discuss] FYI: linux Thin-Client

[jeremyb@univista.com]

I have client intending on employing PXES to recycle thier old PCs.
Our plan is a to use an MS terminal server to keep everyone happy and
comfy   ...etc,etc.  However, all the clients will be running a PXES image
or
RedHat itself on a small disk with rdesktop in an auto-login users .xinitrc
file.
Of course all the f-keys and ctrl+alt+bkspc will be disabled.

Might be of interest.... 

http://pxes.sourceforge.net/ 

This is a pretty slick thin client for linux. 
I'm using this right now. I had to boot from a floppy 
( my network doesn't do PCEX and PCEX doesn't support 
RPL ) but it was almost totally disk-less. 

The thin-client uses tftp to get the boot image ( or it 
reads the boot image from a floppy ) and uses XDMCP to 
login to a remote linux box. It also does RemoteDesktop 
( Linux Terminal Services Client ) and VNC. 

Anyway... I think it's pretty slick.
