Hello
Some of our customers were really surprised when we show them the capabilities of LTSP together with the Jammin-125 Thin Client. Thanks to Jim an his team. They would diserve the noble prize for efficient Thin Client Computing with OSS components ;) First of all we bought the Jammin-125 from X-Diskless Workstation.com (http://www.disklessworkstations.com/). I have no complaints about this company, they served us very well. But our company is located in Switzerland and buying this device in US had a negativ impact on the price (shipping fees and several taxes). For this reason we had to looking for another way to buy the Jammin-125. So here is our solution/suggestion: The orginal manufacturer of the Jammin-125 is Optoma Ltd. In fact the Jammin-125 is the Optoma Thin Client Model ST-320. The only difference to the Jammin-125 is that Optoma ST-320 has integrated CE 3.0 or CE 4.0 as Operating System and some other SW-related goodies like an integrated browser (IE 5.5 ?), a Terminal Emulation and is supporting RDP and ICA Protocols. All these things are great if you need to integrate the Optoma ST-320 into a M$-Environement. If you want to use the ST-320 thin client with LTSP you only have to replace the CE-stuff which is stored on a EEPROM (Disk on Chip Module) by a Etherboot image. We did this by ourselves but I think if you ask Optoma Europe (http://www.optoma.co.uk/) maybe they would do this for you. Beside this it's good to know when you don't need all the M$-CE stuff you don't have to pay seperate license fees to M$. This could have an positive impact on the price, how knows? As far as I know Optoma has in many European countrys official distributors. In Switzerland thats Sacom SA (www.sacom.ch). Have a look on Optomas web and find out more news about theyre thin client solutions.
