![]() That method, whereby the thin client boots when the system (server) becomes available or it is plugged into the LAN (that includes that server), is usually what you requireĪnother way of doing it without using thin clients is to image the clients after each session, e.g. however you do have to make sure it can connect to the host you intend to use as the server and that it will be able to remote boot from that server, via the pxe enabled bios (often in the nic, network card) which these days is usually included on the mainboard of the computer and should be pxe enabled ? I simply mean the vendor is selling you a device ready to plug in MintMambo wrote:on point 3, can you explain 'immediate packaging'? if you connect via rdp (remote desktop protocol, a windows term) or vnc, you can use the fat client Linux, windows et all, connecting to a server, for most of its applications/services, including Internet proxy, that is a transparent proxy like squid. if you can get a collection of old IBM netstations, at a good price, they would work. Kde has a kisok mode, Gnome is a little further behind in that method (stripped down/controlled system) that usually connects via ssh or some other secure method. Mint would be a FAT client, just like Ubuntu would be or Windows would beĪ thin client is essentially a terminal deriving its functions from the server (host) for those thin clients, and while it might have a familiar desktop look as the full client (FAT), regular install, it is instead a stripped down packaged system Anything that Ubuntu 9 can do that Mint can't Yes, both for immediate packaging and energy use, especially if you use the low energy processors like Atom, which should be fairly cheap due to the popularity of netbooksĤ. ![]() 2004 data, tge last surge in thgin client interest from the BIGgger market: regular PCs' There are some desktops available in the region. ![]() both would be a user selection, configuration and choiceģ.
