Story: UK firm to unveil wall-socket PC
Posted by: Gene Mosher (Thursday 1 June 2006, 8:17 PM)
I like the ThinLinX Hot-E much more. It attaches to the back of the display, runs on one-fifth the power (1 Watt) of the Jack-PC, has a CF slot (for a wireless card running the latest wireless solution, for instance), an SD slot ($50 for 2Gb these days), boots Debian Linux and has BlueTooth for wireless peripheral connectivity. The LTSP people are actively working with ThinLinx and the ThinLinX implementation of X is state-of-the-art. The ThinLinX Hot-E allows me to remotely logon to my X desktop and X client applications from anywhere in the world, running them so well that I can't even tell they are remote. Each ThinLinX Coraid storage unit has ten terabytes of storage so I don't think any of us will be running out of storage capacity when using applications hosted at ThinLinx any time soon.
