Dear all,
I am very much new to Linux Thin Client Concept. But know i am very
much interested to create Centos 5 based thin client of 512MB on
flash rom.
Can any one guide me to how to start and if you provide any suitable
links that will be very much great full.
Instead of 'rolling your own' based on a heavy desktop/server
distribution like Centos, look into
something like Thinstation. The work has already been done for you. If
you want to do it as an
exercise then by all means continue. Look into the thin client options
and the rescue disk options
already available.
You might also look at the k12ltsp distribution which has fedora and
Centos spins with LTSP and some other extra packages included to
network-boot thin clients. Even if you don't network boot, it is handy
to have everything else set up on the server for remote thin client use.
http://k12ltsp.org/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page The EL5 version would
be the current Centos based copy. Some work is in progress to turn this
into installable packages for the next fedora release, but for now it is
hard to beat installing this distro for something that works out of the box.
