I don't see the advantage of 'thin clients' like the Neoware - they are too fat for my taste. The wonderful thing about LTSP is that the client is very very thin and never needs firmware upgrades or any special software maintenance. These slightly fatter clients essentially come bundled with the stuff an LTSP client receives over the network at boot time. Consequently, when that stuff needs updating, you have to update all your clients rather than just the server.
Or am I missing something? I'd opt for saving some money and going for a really thin client which only knows how to do a pxe or etherboot. -- Phil Driscoll ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
