Then I would suggest the Capio NeoLinux units. Disk space
is not an issue and local printing is not an issue. They
do have limitted USB support and have a parallel port.
The nice thing about Neoware is they will send you one to
try for 30 days for FREE...

Only thing we typically connect to them are either a
Serial or parallel
printer on some. I know to be sure to get a few with
parallel for that
application.
Interesting thought Jim. I had not thought about the disk
space issue, as
that is the issue we have on our current Despros, lack of
disk for ptaches
and such, so we rebuild as DOS.

We use and sell the Neoware Capio product. We have had
great results with
the NeoLinux based verions. Very straight forward units
and very
inexpensive. The big question in used a XP or XPE based
unit is what
devices are you going to attach to them, ie. Palm
Pilots, Web Cams, and
USB scanners. Things like that require an XP or XPE
operating system to get
them attached and useable by the software.

I finally have
management looking seriously at replacing some of our
Deskpro 2000/4000's
with thin clients.
Mentality up until recently was to spend a few bucks more
and get a full PC.
Big thing I am wondering about is patching of the thin
clients. IE, OS,
etc. Some machines we have rebuilt as DOS clients, which
allows us to avoid
such client side patching. No Virus Scan, no M$ patches,
etc.
I see Linux thins, I see XP SP2 thins, I see CE
thins....., Windows based
clients have IE6, now, I would assume that things like XP,
IE, even CE would
still need patching. If so, does the use of the
management software make
this more feasible?
Forgive my ignorance on this issue.
