RE: Thin clients + iSeries: feedback

--
We use IBM NC2800's  running V2R1 and booting off of a Linux server.
They seem to work very well.   The only problem is IBM is getting out of the 
Thin Client business.

We are looking at building some custom machines and running Linux on them now.

I do have a client that has netstations (or whatever their name is this
month) running NT and CITRIX - with failover - and they love it.  It did
take a little to get going, but once that was over, they have been
running it now for almost 2 years.  They got rid of all their PCs except
for those that really needed a PC for other things - and even those run
some apps off CITRIX.

Reeve,

We are running many PC's.  We are also using several thin clients using
Citrix.  And we've used some thin clients with just the thin client 5250
emulation.  Either way is viable.  The topic for our user's group
meeting
on Feb 12 is Citrix - if you happen to be around Fort Wayne IN.

I'm converting a customer from Unix and we're investigating workstation
options for local and remote locations (remotes will probably use DSL
connections).  PC's are cheap but run Winblows (we're not suggesting
Linux
at this time); thin clients are an option as well.  My only requirement
is
132-column support.

I'd appreciate hearing any thin client war stories, suggestions,
gotcha's,
etc.  Off-line is fine; let's save the List!

Thanks,
Reeve
