What about the clustering / failover support? Supposedly Win2kS does not
support it, but AS does.... Just curious...

Don't use W2K AS for thin client - it offers no benefit over W2KS.
Assuming you're looking at a single server I'd spec something like a
Dual P3/1000 with 2GB or RAM and a couple of smallish hard drives
mirrored. The memory is the most important thing with a thin client
server.

Has anyone had much luck attempting to use Linux thin clients? What were
the advantages and pitfalls you've come across?
The company I work for is having me look into them, and I've tried PXES,
but I'm looking for other alternatives.... Additionally, what would you
say would be a good jumping point (approximation of course) for your
basic Office + other data entry setup? In other words, what kind of
processing power & RAM would be needed for your basic office of about
20-30 users? Is Win2K Server allright, or do you suggest going with
Advanced server for the terminal services server?
Thanks for any help available!
