[itdiscuss] Thin clients?

[Tony Dye]

Jeffrey, do those actually support local USB devices decently?  What’s the web browser?

I really liked the iGel Linux based thin client http://www.igel.de

Anybody have a thin client solution they really love?  Specifically, are there any great answers to:

1)      Local printing (USB printers) and corresponding print performance?

2)      Local scanning (USB scanner)?

3)      Full featured web browsing (flash, YouTube, etc.)?

 

The story behind the questions.  A client is looking at moving *everything* from a local server room to a hosted environment and considering going to thin clients, with the idea being that pretty much all on-site support is eliminated.  The hosted environment would be Terminal Services on Windows Server 2008.  I’d welcome comments on the overall concept, but I’m really looking for answers regarding good Thin Client solutions.

 

Thanks,
