Some work easily, some require some significant hacks. If it has PXE

probably has WinCE installed which is an indication that it does not

If you want to buy devices that are ready to use out-of-the-box, take a
look at the HPs at disklessworkstations.com.
If you want to build your own, I suggest the VIA mini-itx fanless
boards. They are small, silent, and have PXE built in.
By the way, you don't have to burn your own EPROMs.

You'll want to use PXE. The VIA mini-itx boards should have this built

The card is a gforce "e-TNT2 Vanta" and it is using "Vanta".
In my second ltsp installation, test users are asking about the "fuzzy

Take a look at the Gnome Desktop System Administration Guide and the
