This would break anything running a Via C3 processor. We use lots of these as LTSP terminals since they are capable, inexpensive, and don't require a fan. Terminals used for LTSP tend to not be the latest thing. They are also used for many other embedded/appliance type uses. | This would break anything running a Via C3 processor.

The LTSP function in Fedora is quite nice and is just getting going good. It would be a shame cut off the terminals used to access it. | The LTSP function in Fedora is quite nice and is just getting going good. It would be a shame cut off the terminals used to access it. | ||

This would break anything running a Via C3 processor. We use lots of these as LTSP terminals since they are capable, inexpensive, and don't require a fan. Terminals used for LTSP tend to not be the latest thing. They are also used for many other embedded/appliance type uses.
The LTSP function in Fedora is quite nice and is just getting going good. It would be a shame cut off the terminals used to access it.
