Recent web pages require hardware-accelareted video decoding. Not so recent widget toolkits started to use pixmaps instead of X server-side rendering. Users want to use sound output and USB devices. This makes thin clients really hard to implement. Especially if all the network-oriented features Linux deskop had are becoming obsolete. What could work is a diskless thick client. But these old computers usually have 100-Mbps NIC. That's 5 times slower than local ATA disk. This does not matter when everything is loaded, but it hurts when starting programs. Especially in classes where all students log in and to the same stuff at the same time. -- Petr -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
