Sure. I think it should open in the most general terms, then get more
specific. I'd steer away from specific brand names as much as possible.
(If necessary, point to a separate page outside of the cookbook proper,
like perhaps one of the existing hardware compatibility pages, and then
try to populate that page with specific brand thin-client info.)
Its not brand related. PXE is basicly on all the new stuff. Etherboot on
the old junk, But you need a bootrom on the networkcard. For various
reasons you could consider a bootcd with bootrom to start the
thinclient. But I don't know where you would want to file this stuff
(explaination, ways to get it working). Its not really a hardware
requirement.
I guess you could file it under Hardware requirements, and divide that
chapter in a client part and a server part. But I don't think real
instructions for the above are not really suited there.
Hardware requirements would seem to be the logical place, I agree.
I don't mind to write Hardware Requirement part and if you want I can
write some side-dishes (or whatever you would call that): Stuff thats
normally not needed but might be useful based on actual experience of
real world edubuntu use. For example a way to manage windows software
(with wine) systemwide.
Side dishes! I like it. (And "wine" makes an interesting pun on its
own.)
