Thanks so much for the response. I was hoping you could clarify some points for me:

I meant save money using LTSP vs Windows Terminal Services. When you say 'plain old X11' do you mean running 'ssh -X foo /path/to/gui/app/bar' from a standalone workstation or something equivalent? My client asked my about tablet PCs because he has a problem with space and cable clutter. I advised him I would look into a better way of integrating the screen into the computer, and the best way I can think of to do that, while not spending thousands on a powerful enough and small enough PC, is with a diskless client and network booting. Perhaps I've misguided myself, but the reason I'm looking into LTSP is because, as I understand it, it provides a framework for administrating chroot environments for diskless clients. In other words, I though it was plain old X11. Plus, I tend to drink that whole benefits of SBC kool-aid, though I have limited experience in the matter. I'm no expert so perhaps there is a better solution. > > > It would be nice to find a small form factor solution with integrated > > LCD shipping with Linux, and from a company in no danger of > > disappearing tomorrow, but so far I have found no such animal. > > Netvoyager do at least one; http://www.netvoyager.co.uk/products/lx1040.html . > We've used their LX1021s and have been very pleased with them, not tried > any "integrated" models.

That does still leave the D-SUB / DVI cable, and another power cable, but like you say, it makes sense to price it both ways, and let him decide. If he does still want to spend extra, do you think, based on what I posted from the user guide, that those Samsungs would be ok? They are half the price of the netvoyagers. > Cheers, > > AJ > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft > Defy all challenges.
