Actually, all of Neoware's Capio and Eon thin clients support PXE, and can boot LTSP just fine. All Capio's and most Eon's use a NSC GX1+ CPU, which is well supported by XFree86 4.2. The high-end Eon's have an 800 MHz Via C3 CPU, and are also well supported by XFree86 4.2 (embedded 4X AGP ProSavage).
