[K12OSN] Is This A Usable Thin Client For LTSP?

[Jim Anderson]

I've tested this $100 computer as a thin client with K12LTSP and it works
fine one you set it to boot from the NIC:

http://www.ewayco.com/51-embedded-systems-100-PC-mini-ITX-low-cost/100-tu-low-cost-pc-thin-client-embedded-system.html

It comes with a 200 MHz CPU and 128 MB RAM.  The shared video memory can be
set to a number of settings.  8 or 16 MB works fine.  I have tested the
sound, so I can't say whether it works or not with K12LTSP.
