[K12OSN] old laptops as thin clients

[Rob Owens]

I'm thinking about getting one or two old laptops from
ebay to use as thin clients.  I don't know much about
laptops, so are there any gotchas that I have to watch
out for as far as getting one that will work?  

I know I need an ethernet port and either a floppy,
hd, or cdrom (for loading the bootrom), but is there
anything else?  A pentium should do it, right?  Any
weird, incompatible hardware to watch out for?

Thanks

-Rob
