[K12OSN] Thin Clients

[Gideon Romm]

Jason,

Hi.  Gideon here from Symbio Technologies.  Just wanted to pipe in so
you don't overlook us.

If you're interested in ordering in quantity (10 or more), check out
www.thesymbiont.com .  At Symbio Technologies, we specialize in larger
installations, plus we're an eRate vendor and are on many state vendor
lists (if you're in the US).  We also ship in quantity overseas, and
have several international resellers.  All of our thin clients are
tested before they ship and are certified to work with LTSP/K12LTSP and
with The Symbiont Management Suite - a web-based management utility for
diskless thin client networks.

And then there is http://www.disklessworkstations.com/ for another option.  I used the casetronic 2699 but modded to use the VIA Eden 533, not the 1GHz option that is standard.
