Compaq Announces Thin Client Running Linux

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the aint-that-interesting dept.

ansible writes " Saw this story on Techweb.com: Compaq has announced thin client hardware, including one that runs Linux. " The most interesting thing is the fact that the thin clients have a PCMCIA port and 2 USB ports. USB? Wouldn't it be swell if Compaq had some code for us? (he says eyeing the unusable USB port on his desktop and laptop)

  1. Aha, but there *IS* USB support by Johannes · · Score: 5

    Take a visit to the somewhat out of date Linux USB homepage: www.linux-usb.org

    Both USB Host Controllers (UHCI and OHCI), Keyboards, Mice, Printers, some bulk devices (Hard Drive's, Floppies, etc) and some webcams have drivers off the top of my head.

    With many more to come and it's all in 2.3!
