I've had to go with XPe thin clients as we have a number of remote
offices without print servers. Without a print server I use IP based
printing direct from the thin client to the printer. Of the Microsoft
OSes only Windows XPe supports IP printing. If you plan to do IP
printing you might want to consider XPe.

Hey guys,

 

We are in the process of re-evaluating our thin client OS.  Currently we
run CE.net on most of our thins.  We are trying to determine whether or
not we should standardize on a different OS (Linux or XPe)

 

What do you guys see as the major differentiators between these 3 OS' on
thins in terms of performance, ease of use, manageability, working w/
drivers/hardware, etc...

We run 6 Citrix FR3 boxes now, but have a 2003 TS environment w/out
Citrix in the works as we speak.  We are going to be using Biometric
readers, and proximity devices in this environment, as well as some
wireless cards.  

 

*         Linux

*         CE or CE.net

*         XPe

 

 

Thanks for your opinions in advance.
