Linutop thin client and OS
Thin clients are more than just the hardware in a snazzy little chasis, they are a complete solution, often with a customized operating system. This is certainly true of the new Linutop thin clients which features a custom version of Ubuntu Linux 8.04. Inside they feature a VIA C7 processor.
"It has no moving parts (if you remember, I mentioned it was a fanless solution) and operates at 20W, meaning it will probably find a lot of companies wanting to employ its services. The price is set at 340 Euros (about 487 USD)."-Gadgets.softpedia.
