Introduction: This program can boot a thin client or help to convert any compliant hardware into a versatile thin client. They will be capable of accessing any XDM server presenting the graphical login screen or any Microsoft Terminal Server through RDP protocol.This thin client boots from the network with PXE, so neither boot diskette nor boot eprom is needed. The Linux kernel and an initial root filesystem is transmitted over the network (the compressed size as of version 0.4 is about 4MB).This version of PXES combines:PXELinux to boot from networkXDM to obtain a graphical loginRdesktop to access Microsoft Terminal Server® servicesBusybox to reduce the footprintRedHat 7.2 stock components to build the small distributionGUI Configuration programsAfter booting, the thin client is completely stand-alone, so no NFS server is needed. Of course if you want to access an XDM or Microsoft Terminal Server, these servers are required.
