Hej Mats, 512mb ram? 256 for cache? I seriously doubt I need that much. I wouldn't bet on it - we've got some older P1 thin clients with only a few MB RAM. Sure, they boot. Sure, the user may log in sometimes. But sooner or later those terminals will crash if not helped by swap memory on the

I am taking the fat client approach: Athelon M 2800+ 1GB RAM 17 LCD All apps local Total client cost is $300US. Some advantages I have found. Sound is pitifully easy. Server is just a client with drive(s) added. Users have full applications

Hi I've been looking into thin client tech, WinTS, Thinstation, NX etc... And I've actually used Thinstation and Win TS. But I can't say that I've really got a grip on how LTSP 4.2/5 works. From what I can gather, LTSP seems more like something aimed at diskless fat clients? Booting from PXE

Mats- To add what the others had said about how LTSP works: every thin client (eg Wyse WinTerm) that you purchase has to have some sort of operating system on it to operate. This generally is just enough OS to initialize the hardware, initialize the graphics mode, provide a local

I've noticed that when running with thinstation, I can max out the switch and really push the server when many users are running java or flash, and is for me a real show stopper. I can't speak for Flash, but for Java Swing applications and especially Java apps that use the Java2D library,
