So far the HP t5740e units with windows 7 embedded seem to be just what the doctor ordered. Silent, low power consumption. Option of running Avimark on the client, or rdp to the server, and run it there.
I have now removed all the ncomputing terminals and replaced them with the standalone thin clients.
We had some big storms through which they soldiered on. I took a long weekend vacation, and they all functioned flawlessly while I was gone.
So for anyone keeping score, I am running about 15 rdp sessions with Avimark running on the Linux server in WINE.
Interestingly there is a limit of 10 sessions built into the base configuration of the x11rdp, but a quick edit of a config file fixed that.
Ubuntu 12.04 WINE (ver?) x11rdp remote desktop on the windows machines.
CUPS runs the printers on the linux side, and is very stable as long as you don't have any ip conflicts on your internal network. A power outage, loss of internet, and a non total restart of my network pointed that out
Total shutdown that evening and restart with everyone assigned a new ip by the router made it all happy again.
