Linux Terminal Server Project releases 4.2 (NewsForge) [LWN.net]

Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier reviews version 4.2 of the Linux Terminal Server Project, a thin client system. "The new release adds improved local device support, reduces memory requirements, and offers scanner and multi-head support and a 2.6 kernel. With improved local device support, users can plug in USB flash drives or other devices which are read across the network and can be used normally -- just as if their thin client was a regular desktop computer. Project leader Jim McQuillan says that the goal of the project is to see to it that "people aren't penalized for using a thin client" and that they can have the same type of experience as a normal desktop machine."
