Ran across an interesting case study (read: advertisement) in a
reseller catalog I receive. I don't usually pay much attention to
the junk mail, but I happened to thumb through this one and saw a
reference to the Staunton, Virginia public library. According to the
"case study", the library has converted to using what appears to be
a sub-thin client type of setup. The client device seems to be
little more than a KVM linked over 10/100 Ethernet to a VSphere,
Citrix, or Windows RDP server. The client device appears to consume
less than 5 watts of power, so it's considerably more energy
efficient than a PC or a real thin client device.<br>

Thought I'd pass it along. I've not looked into it too much myself,
but I'm curious, very especially if it would work with the free
VMware ESXi, which I already heavily leverage.<br>

about them or their product, and certainly not trying to make any
money by advertising their name or product.<br>
