Small, Fast RDP Client? · Slashdot Mirror

Posted by Cliff on Tuesday November 2, 2004 @11:22PM from the linux-for-a-specific-task dept.

Tazor asks: "I'm working for a small municipality in Denmark where most of our users are using our Windows terminal servers. Now we want to run a RDP client on our older PCs (133 mhz, 32 mb RAM, 2 gb disks). We figure that the best way to do this, is to use open source, and this is where I need your help. I'm trying to find a small Linux distro, running from either a floppy disk or from hard disk, that boots straight into a RDP client logon screen. It needs to be easy to customize (not much Open Source knowledge in our department) so that we can configure hostnames and set the distro to use Danish keyboard settings. We would also like it to be free. I found PilotLinux, but it runs from a Live-CD and is difficult to customize (for a PFY like me anyways). Hope that hardcore OSS geeks in here can help me."

P133, 32MB RAM, 2GB Hard Disk? Back when these were new, they'd be doing all that and more on NT4 or any old linux distro. What's so hard about this? Up the RAM a little and you could even run Win2K or XP on them...
