Hi all. I posted something a few days ago about using thin clients to set up
computer labs in third world countries. I realize it may be more of a
beginners question. Nobody has answered it but I see some other questions
here being answered. Should I understand this to mean that I need to go
elsewhere to find someone willing to talk about the more basic aspects of
thin clients? Anyone willing to suggest where I might turn?
