[NTLUG:Discuss] LTSP - Tablet PCs -vs- AIRPAD -- Mobile computing (non html version)

[Richard Geoffrion]

My apologies for posting in HTML.. I'm not on MY computer and failed to
catch it in time.  50 lashes with a wet chicken noodle for me!  And sorry
for the long lines, MSOE without Quotefix is pathetic.

I want to upgrade my Refridgerator ala

r_HomePADRefrigerator_RH2777AT.htm )
so that I too have a complete computing experience.

Or maybe I just want to bring my 'reading room' into the 21st
century...or..OR... Maybe I can integrate WINE with LTSP and get a wireless
solution for distribution businesses that overcome the high dollar licensing
costs of Microsoft products.

As I venture forth on this project I'm am trying to decide where to start.
I've seem to see two possible paths.  TabletPCs (mini laptops..or self
contained PCs) or a wireless UBER PDA like this one from viewsonic
(

( One person's experience with an airpad

The question is, ...well what IS the question?  Has anyone had experience
using LTSP? (I just found a link about a project called LinuxCE
http://www.handhelds.org/archive/linuxce-faq.html )

Has anyone used an AIRPAD in a Linux environment?  What is the Linux
equivolent of the Citrix ICA client?--just run an Xserver under WinXP?

In case you haven't figured it out...I'm fishing for questions as much as
I'm fishing for answers.
