Any feedback whether such devices can be of use for Enterprises? The marketing teams are advising against use of such products for Enterprises. I can't understand why - at least for guys using it for presentations, email, light word processing / spreadsheets and Browser based applications. I think the reason lies in the fact that "Enterprise use" is interpreted as Windows XP Professional Edition which can integrate and authenticate with Active Directory. The vendors are only providing Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, and which due to Microsoft Policy, is engineered not to be able to authenticate against Active Directory.
So why not make Linux on such devices authenticate against Active Directory? Or for that matter we can probably use rdesktop for RDP connection to "Enterprise Resources". And can these devices be made to boot from Network and a USB Device?? Probably these machines can also be used as Thin Clients. Any one tried a dual boot?? No wonder some reviews talk of them as Netbooks or some times client devices for Cloud Computing!! anand _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
