[THIN] Re: Best Thin Clients

interesting.  I have a customer who's sweet spot is running Flash.  But
they are cheap and want Linux thin clients.  Everyone has been telling them
it is not possible and they have to get windows embedded.

i've been rounding up demo units for them and my team.  Which is part of
why I started this thread.  The last time I deployed thin clients en masse
HP had just acquired Neoware and HDX didnt' exist.
