RE: [OT] Windows Network Boot

[Jorg Zapf <jzapf@xxxxxxx>]

There are any number of WinCE based thin clients available.
I am using an IBM Netvista 2800W: ns geode processor, winCE on CF card.
Similar products are available by Wyse, Igel and others.

Sometimes they are quite cheap on ebay ...

Hi,

After just installing Terminal Server on my newly rebuilt Win2K server,
I
had a thought...

Is there a windows product that is just a thin-client front end to
terminal
services?  i.e. boot up simply puts up the login window to a remote
terminal
server, thus removing the need for extra hard disks and such...

My main thought is that maybe I could combine this with a Via Eden board
and
CF card instead of having a hard drive.

Also/Instead, anyone know if I put a winCE (or Windows XP embedded)
image
onto a CF card, will that need to write back to the CF card for things
like
virtual memory etc.?  I.e. will the card's limited # of writes be used
up by
using winCE?

Just thoughts for a future HA project

TIA

-Dan
