Thin clients and linux just soldier on

Very quiet week here in Lake Wobegone.  The stuff is just working.  Avimark still works best when Wine is set to the "emulate a virtual desktop" mode.  Otherwise it it possible for a user to get themselves stuck with an alert window shuffled to the background, but not allowing them to go on. There are simple ways out of it, but its better if it doesnt happen in the first place.

Spent part of the morning configuring a thin client for use at the emergency clinic.  You do have to eliminate some software that you dont use in order to have room to load what you will use, but small price to pay, for the small price I paid :-)

If the weather is bad this weekend, I may spend some time working through a cookbook for all this at another vet who followed me down the rabbit hole started to put together.

Might also be able to prepare a live install disk to do the dirty work for folks ahead of time.  Starting to get some emails about this stuff.

If you stopped in, leave a comment, if only to say hello
