I happened across a vendor who's selling Wyse Thin Client computers real cheap ($25, including keyboard and mouse). I wondered if such a box would work with Linux. It's intended to work with Windows NT. Here's the vendor's description: The Winterm model 2310SE is a cost-effective, modular terminal for users who have limited space, or want to match an existing or new monitor to specific user needs. This thin client has a tiny footprint, an attractive design, and can be wall mounted. It is ideal in high-traffic areas such as retail POS and reservations desks. In the home office, it can access remote servers using standard modems. Display Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98 Windows NT, Windows 2000 and DOS (text) applications via multiuser Windows NT® applications servers Centralized software administration control Local or remote Internet- and intranet-based applications; ICA® 3 display protocol-compliant; VT220, VT100, and VT52 emulations Dual high-speed serial ports, bi-directional parallel port 10BaseT Ethernet Ports & connectors: (1) 10Base-T Ethernet (1) VGA 15-pin (1) PS/2 Keyboard (1) PS/2 Mouse (2) 9 pin serial (1) parallel (1) power Power adapter included Bulk - No documentation, cables or software - Winterm with power adapter only Works with Citrix WinFrame or Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition with Citrix MetaFrame Does this sound like something I might want, or should I stay away?

The best way to check would be to ask on the mailing list of the Linux Terminal Server Project: http://www.ltsp.org -- Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.kyfieithu.co.uk - Meddalwedd Rhydd yn Gymraeg
