Finally, a complete tutorial on doing Linux thin clients! Colin Mattoon over at LinuxWorld has written a reasonably complete, understandable tutorial that would allow you to make a usable Linux computer lab out of an applications server (anything over 600 MHz would do) and a pile of obsolete PCs. I’ve seen many of these over the years; this is the first time I’ve ever seen anyone explain enough for you to create something useful without looking 47 other places for information.
It’s a five-parter that I’ve been following since inception; I don’t agree with the order they’ve been posted but they’re deep enough into the series now that you can read in whatever order you want.
See the latest installment.
Some proper, original content will follow later.
