| PXES - Micro distribution to build thin clients.Updated by dtmilano on Tuesday, September 07th 2004. PXES is a micro Linux thin client distribution.PXES will boot a real thin client or will help to convert in minutes any compliant hardware (see list bellow) intoa versatile thin client. They will be capable of accessing any XDM server presenting the graphical login screen or any Microsoft Terminal Server through RDP protocol. The actual configuration of clients is made with an easy to use graphical configuration tool, allowing the specification of clients parameters or the server to access to.You can recover hardware that is useless running current desktop OS or office package and give it a secondchance.This thin client boots from the network with PXE (Intel Pre-Execution Environment specifications) so neitherboot diskette nor boot eprom is needed. The linux kernel and an initial root filesystem is transmitted over thenetwork (the compressed size as of version 0.4 is about 4M). Licence : GPL
Version : 0.9 [Stable]
Release Notes : This is a giant leap towards PXES 1.0, and a lot of functionality has been added. To name a few: Citrix ICA 8.00 support, local TFTP and DHCP relay to act as an appliance, and a new WindowsXP look and feel in LOCAL session, SSH server, local configuration, etc. Another important addition is the NX session. This combination allows enterprises to adopt cost-effective PXES thin client solutions to replace their current deployment. Pre-built images are also provided, including ISO, NBI, and squash.
