Are here people with experiences with laptops for thin-client use? I need 7 laptops for use with X2go.
Using the same atom-based systems in desktop-thinclients as they would be in netbooks, we have very good experience. Using netbooks/notebooks for thinclients with only the wifi will be slow and sluggish and will not allow network-boot...
We use 3G, and we need to be mobile. We allready do that and it's not too slow. Netbooks are too small to work confortable, we need 12"-15".
If you configure network-manager system-wide and from a config file (i.e. you do not use the nm-applet utility or something similar GUI'ish)...
[ -> Google for this by yourself, there is some Ubuntu-Wiki help around... ]
Hmmm, did not know that network-manager can be configured system wide..
... then you can do this:
o install a minimal Debian squeeze from a Debian CD o install x2gothinclient from our repos
... and then start using an X2Go thin client that is installed on the netbooks hard disk.
Yes, I know. I am asking this to find nice hardware. Maybe I was not clear enough.
With regards, Paul.
