I have about 35 clients switched over now and plan to have 50 by the end
of the week
I took the live cd and DOS x-copied it the hard drive. It did take a bit
of tweaking to get it to work, but now it's cake. I got it working with
both ICA and RDP. I wanted it to be useable in a Windows environment and
easy for the level one techs to load . The already live DOS/ICA
clients I load from the network because the DOS network client is all
good to go, I haven't bothered with a Linux network boot to make new
clients , I will when I have more time to play.
The long file name of the thinstation.profile/thinstation.conf.user was
a bit of a challenge but there's a utility that gives me lren and lcopy.
Along with the link Durf sent here are a couple others that I used.
http://syslinux.zytor.com/faq.php
http://lfntools.sourceforge.net/
I have some oldie Digital PCs I had to replace video cards ( I'll source
some used parts for the rest)
Some of the older HPs and Compaqs I had to make 200MB partitions and
use a 2.X ver of Syslinux.

It's a bootable ISO image that can also apparently be served up via PXE.
Meant to be run relatively read-only, so it takes a bit of customization
to create your desktop.

I love it. We have the DOS client for Citrix. But I'm switching to just
TS no MF servers. The Linux boot loading RDP is wonderful! We recycle
our old PC's and stick em on the shop floor as terminals.
Thin Appliances would be my preferred choice. But hey I save the company
$$$$ by moving the "junk' out to the dirty environment.
