I have looked into the Linux Terminal Server Project before, it is probably the solution I am going to go however I was looking for more of a thin client hardware solution, typically quiet diskless terminals. The reason I was thinking about taking this route is because of the fact they are small and many run without fans. There was also a computer called ThinkNIC.com which would be perfect for what I am trying to do however it appears to be 199.99 and i'm not sure whether it is available for personal use anymore however I could always low-end computers. I have found a few X-terminals by a company called NCD that look encouraging. Just a few questions though, how is the general performance for web browsing / email purposes if my client PC was at least a pentium 233mhz. The server no doubt will be at least as powerful as you described definitely employ a 100mbps switch with a decent amount of ram. Are their any decent X-terminals for around a 200-300 price tag or am I dreaming? Thanks, Michael MacDonald macado at nonaferraris.com
