Hi all, We're getting ready to move to Ubuntu Lucid LTS primarily for local apps. However we'll need to replace our current generation of thin clients (ntavo 6020's). We're in the market for the best performing TC's we can find ideally for under 300.00.
I've tested the eeebox pc with 1.6 ghz atom processor and 1 ghz ram. It seems to work well, but we've had complaints from other testers that it freezes on them. It also doesn't obey our local shutdown scripts. Also I believe it uses the system ram to drive the video display and I'd prefer to have dedicated memory for that. In short I'd be interested in finding a compact 2 core TC with 2 gigs ram with a well supported video card that didn't cannibalize system ram to run. I see Asus makes a dual core version of the eeebox (ASUS Eee Box EB1501-W0167 Intel Atom ) but the price is nearly 500.00. At that point we sort of lost the whole pricing rational for using thin clients. Any advice folks could share would be appreciated! Thanks!
