[Sussex] LINUX on Mini-ITX / Via?

[Geoff Teale]

STeve wrote lots of stuff, which I snipped,..===

Sorry for my typing, Paul was around until 2AM and I got up at 5:30AM, so
I'm slightly wobbly - not Pauls fault (as he'son this list I best not blame
him :) )...

What you cold do is assign some programs to run wholly on the client
(noteably StarOffice) and some to run on the server with only the GUI part
running on the client XServer - this is not the same as the old-fashioned
X-Terminal approach.  All programs are stored centrally though (so there
could be a network performance issue).  The arguement is that this costs
less than a PC on each desk (although, the mini-ITX _is_ a PC). The kit in
the netbox is cheap though - a £69 motherboard (with integrated CPU, Video,
Sound, Network), £25 woth of RAM, £30 of flash reader - unfortunately they
seem to charge you a _lot_ of money to put this case in their rather pretty
aluminium cases.
