Thin Client uses

[darkmanx]

Just wondered what kind of instances any of you guys use thin clients for. We had a load in for testing but as its education they were deemed not to fit in with the strategy. (mainly because they cant watch you tube/streaming media very well on them). Its the same situation in offices to we can't replace PC's with them as people seem to want everything i.e. streaming media sites etc.

What other uses could you think of where they may be of benefit? Also what software have you found best for them, they were being used here just with remote desktop to a terminal server. We have a mix of units wyse, hp, jack pc's. Some of the wyse/hp have windows xpe others linux

Cheers

I wish it was that simple for us, working in education it seems what the teachers/students want they get! No matter how much hassle it causes us or how many hoops we have to jump through.
We had someone ripping copyrighted material to show in class and we deleted it off our file servers and management were like why did you do that its fine, we were like er no your breaking the law!! And the irony was the person doing it was a law teacher!!
