Re: Nightstand Terminal

[Barrett Dillow]

I may have missed it but has anyone mentioned the Audrey for a 
"nightstand" solution?
It runs QNX, ethernet or wifi connectivity, small, (pen) touchscreen, 
infrared keyboard, no hard drive, 200MHz or 333MHz processor, palmpilot 
syncing, email, blah blah blah

they're neat.

Through LTSP (which works very nicely with Debian) you could configure
     

a
   

client workstation to run a X-window session from the big, loud, hot
workstation/server you want to monitor.  But the hardware could be
configured in the BIOS to run without the hard drive or to spin
     

down the
   

hard drive after one minute.
     

Interesting ... is there a way to spin up/down the hard drives from
the os?
   

Not with LTSP.
You do it in the BIOS.
But then you don't need a hard drive.
LTSP can boot from:
Hard drive
Floppy disk
PXE Network boot
NIC ROM
