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.
