Re: IBM Thin Client and V5R3

[ChadB@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I found that in my research and it (LTSP) had some promise for someone
wanting a more home grown solution.  We needed a more complete solution
with vendor support, etc.  Two vendors that we looked closely at were
Neoware and IGEL (they both offered a flash chip upgrade for the existing
IBM 2200s).  It's a shame that IBM's Netstation Manager went by the
wayside... it was a great product that fit us really well.  One issue we
had with the newer solutions we looked at was that settings (display
settings, keyboard maps, etc.) are station based instead of user based
(keyed on the user that authenticated to the thin client).

How about using the Linux Terminal Server Project (http://www.ltsp.org)?
I think it handles netstations.  And it won't cost you.

It's not the software that's free; it's you.
