[K12OSN] thin client laptops/Asus EEE

[David Whitmer]

Will,

I've experimented with an Asus Eee PC (4G model) in our K12LTSP environment.

This laptop worked fine using NX Client to connect via its wireless adapter
to a K12LTSP server running freenx.

I have not attempted to boot the Eee PC directly off the server, though I
doubt that would work over a wireless connection anyway.
