Distro Suggestion for application?
« on: February 02, 2007, 12:54:24 PM »
Looking for a Linux Distro that is easy to install to use as a dumb work station terminal on P-II and P-III CPU systems w/ 256MB Ram, in which users will work through a Citrix Terminal Window for all their activities.

Looking for a distro which will be very basic with a GUI and Mozilla or KDE Browser on it and nothing else so they can connect to the Citrix Server through the browser.

Maybe I should just use Fedora and strip everything from it but the browser and GUI. If there is a Kiosk distro this might be sort of what I need. But I haven't seen any Kiosk like distros that are basic like this.

I have used Knoppix before also, but I dont know how to remove the programs from it and force the browser to open at our Citrix Server Link... Would be interrested in the Read-Only environment of a Live CD if this is possible. Otherwise a regular non-Live distro would work.

Thanks for your suggestions...

Would *censored* Small Linux have enough on it to do the job?  It may already be stripped down enough for you.  Additionally, I like Ubuntu, but I am not a Linux expert.  It works well for me when I use it.

Vector Linux would be right up your alley.  ;)

Dave, whilst you're looking into this, you might want to check out the >Linux Terminal Server Project<.
Only able to visit the forums sporadically, sorry.
