Vidar writes "HP has a line of thin clients, however, only one of these run Linux. But, being generic x86 hardware, you can install Linux on them. And it has been done, running Damn Small Linux from the flash of those devices. The article has a complete walkthrough for the procedure, as well as some toughts on the topic. It can be added that the rdesktop client is quicker than Microsoft's own RDP client. Also, with Linux it is easy to upgrade remotely, or even change to an entirely new protocol. Once one terminal is upgraded, the rest is done with dd and a USB stick!"

Then why is it a fading minority? You're just another damn linsux zealot with your head so far up torvald's ass you've totally lost your grip on reality. linsux has always and will always suck, and will always be a steaming pile of some of the shittiest code ever written in the history of retarded zealot monkeys.
