Its amazing how overpowered the cheapest new CPU on the market is for an ltsp client, and it's good because it will make openmosix-ltsp much more popular in the near future.
I still preffer recycling because it makes my job a little more interesting and cost effective. But am troubled that there is no ultra low cost diskless PC solution on the market, because that is where the most demand is; maybe that will change with the new complete linux 2.4 system on one chip http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/12/27/1342215&mode=thread&tid=137 --- Stephen Liu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Clifford. > > Thanks for your advice.
