MicroClient works ok but it's a very slowly thin client. (200 Mhz isn't enought to boot a 2.6 linux kernel) * Video works ok with vesa driver, I don't try with sis * USB is 1.1, works ok. * Some versions of MicroClient have a PS/2 connector to attach a keyboard and mouse to single connector, if reseller not send this cable you need USB mouse. * Internal 44 pin IDE conector (can attach an laptop hdd or disk on module) * CF reader (works, as a second IDE device) * Sound is very hard to make work, but as J.L. Redrejo says with TCOS works ok. server -> pulseaudio -> thin client pulseaudio-> thin client esound --> OSS driver PulseAudio don't work with sis7019 and we have to put esound-oss in the middle. As far I know, sound don't work in LTSP, because don't work with 2 sound servers at the same time. Mentors sis7019 package is obsolete, with TCOS I have a tcos-extra-modules package with some modules (unionfs, squashfs, cdfs, aufs, and sis7019) In recent kernel versions will need extra patches with different kernels: http://trac.tcosproject.org/browser/trunk/tcos-extra-modules/patches The easy way to get module is installing tcos-extra-modules-x.x.x: http://www.tcosproject.org/pool/main/t/tcos-extra-modules/ Greetings -- http://soleup.eup.uva.es/mariodebian
