Just set up my first standalone hp thin client. It has the advantage over the ncomputing devices that it doesnt require any special software on the central server like the ncomputing. It should lend stability, because it was getting harder and harder to keep vspace running either under linux or windows xp. Updates in xp tripped it up, and random failures occured all too often in the linux version.
The hp's are available for some pretty reasonable prices used. This one is linux based, and I am waiting for a win7 embedded one to try as well. The rdp client worked flawlessly with none of the keyboard mapping quirks of the ncomputing units. Win7 would give me the option of running rdp on a linux or windows server, as well as executing avimark locally, loaded off a server if necessary.
Have to get some miles on them to be sure.. But looks promising.
