[K12OSN] thin clients

[William Parrott]

We've used a Wyse 9235 (booting from PXE, not the WinXPe OS) terminals
in a testing-only lab. It's still a rather expensive way to go (about
$400 w/o monitor). If your environment doesn't require removable storage
for end-users it is very reliable and easy to service platform. I am
planning to evaluate the Neoware Capio One (under $250 w/o monitor) as a
possible alternative to the Wyse terminals. Wyse makes a sub-$300
terminal (1200 series) but I believe they only support Citrix ICA/MS RDP
(no PXE).

I'm now working on getting some old Amptron 'BookPC'(BKE630) computers
to boot from the network. They have RPL boot support but no PXE support.
Has anyone from the list been able to successfully boot from an
RPL-based network client or with one of these 'Book-PC's'?
