2004-01-15 Thread hazzmat
Sounded interesting. I just checked the HPaq website though, and the t5300 and t5500 are only listed as using Windows (XP or CE) and cost $3,500 to $3,800. No mention of Linux anywhere on their thin client page, even as an option. Why is it that big oem pc makers are all so duplicitous in their
