[K12OSN] Thin Clients

[Christian Blessing]

Jason,

I encourage you to take a look at ElitePC of Tempe, Arizona
(www.elitepc.com). They offer a number of thin clients based on the Via
chipset. I just purchased 10 LF26 clients, as well as a rack-mount
server pre-loaded with K12LTSP 4, from the company. Everything worked
out of the box. I have bought quite a number of other computers from
them in the past, and have come to appreciate both their decent customer
service, super-competitive pricing, and their enthusiastic support for
Linux/Open Source.

Regards,

Hi there.

Perhaps to add to Dan's question:

Is there a document that catalogues what thin clients will with with
LTSP/K12LTSP?  I have seen some at government surplus houses and EBay
and very reasonable prices and wonder if any would be useable.

Thanks
Jason :)

Searching the listings on eBay for thin clients I have found lots of
Win-CE & NT based units.  Does anyone know if and of the following have
the ability to do pxe boot and work on an ltsp system:

Compaq Evo T-20 or T-30
ANT TC-5000
NCD Thinstar 300
IBM Netvista various models.

Prices are quite cheap, but if they won't boot pxe 2.0 they are of no
value without Citrix or Windows Terminal Services.
