[ubuntu-uk] Diskless Workstations

2007-10-04 Thread Ian Pascoe
Hi-de-hi Campers

With all the postings relating to home servers and small screens got me
thinking.

Is there such a thing as a diskless workstation that looks for all intents
and purposes like a laptop, ie combined screen, keyboard and mouse pad,  but
without HDD battery and other associated mobile type stuff?

I've only ever found / seen those that look like a standard desktop
installation, ie all seperate, but not combined.  Yes I realise I can get a
second hand lappie and do this but I've never seen one from new - or maybe
just haven't got the Google search criteria right 

Cheers

If you just want a keyboard, trackball and monitor that you will wire 
into a pc, HP do make rackmount units but they are not cheap. If you are 
on about a dumb terminal type thing Igel and Wyse make boxs for this 
sort of purpose

Did a quick google search and churned up

http://www.devonit.com/terminals/terminals_models_features.php

NTA 6027L  NTA 8027L models both have intergrated 17inch lcd panels

quote from linux devices :
Devon IT Inc. has embedded an optimized version of Red Hat Linux in a line
of low-cost thin-client terminals ranging from the entry-level Ntavo NTA
6010A priced at $149, to the $599 NTA 6015L that boasts an integrated
15-inch, 1024x668 TFT LCD screen.
