Re: RDESKTOP MINI Linux

Sounds cool...

.. but the 'Mini Linux' dosn´t have to be only 1,4 Mb.. it could be up
to 32 megs (or maybe bigger?) and booted through PXE from the Win2000
server with RIS installed.

The HW requirements for the client would be a diskless PXE complient PC
with 64+ megs of Ram.
