The Thin-Client Challenge?
An Anonymous Coward asks: "A friend of mine showed me this webpage which basically asks this question and offers a challenge to create a UNIX-ish Thin Client that can connect to a Windows terminal server. He really is serious, and has attempted this on his own before. Any hope out there in the Linux world for a small, easy to deploy thin-client only distro?" This is not the first time this question has come thru the pipe before, however I figure if someone can answer this challenge, all will benefit. Does anyone think this can be done? If so, speak up, if not, please give reasons as to why.
Firstly, this is not really a difficult problem, I've submitted far harder and had them refused :-( If you're a programmer and know how to search the web you can probably achieve most of this within a week.
/. has a daily article for people to bitch about /. I'll continue to post off topic.
Secondly, it's worth a damn sight more than $150 That's the real problem, It's not some hacker with a pet peeve or needs to know if some tech is available, it's a company asking for free consultation. Shouldn't this be posted in the OSDN jbs section?
Go on mod me off topic, until
