Specifications for 2X ThinClientOS
The specifications of your Thin Client depend on two factors: Boot
Method and amount of items being published to the desktop. The
following guidelines are given to grasp a better idea of the
capabilities you will be capable of using depending on your
available specifications.
A PXE boot method affects the amount of RAM required by the 2X
ThinClientOS since this is used to store the program files. It will
also affect startup time depending on the congestion of the
network. If you have the availability of a fixed disk inside the Thin
Client, do consider to use it since it will avoid unnecessary traffic
and offer better redundancy in the event of network outages.
Booting off the CD-ROM offers two options. By default it provides
the necessary hooks to boot over the network for Thin Clients with
network cards which do not offer PXE booting. It optionally provides
an installer as well as a live demo which can be run from the CD
itself. The Live CD should be used only for evaluation since
updating a site wide installation by re-burning new images is not
suggested and/or scalable.
