About:
PXES is a micro Linux distribution for thin clients that converts any
suitable machine into a versatile thin client within minutes. It can
access XDM servers presenting a graphical login screen, Microsoft Terminal
Servers, Citrix ICA, and VNC servers, or a local X session with simple
desktop and window manager. A graphical configuration tool allows
parameters such as the server to be set. Local devices can be accessed,
including sound, printers, and disks. It boots on a variety of hardware,
and does not require NFS. It can be used over low bandwidth WAN and VPN
connections, and can also be booted from local media like hard disk and
CD-ROMs where network boot cannot be used.
Changes:
In this version, the kernel was upgraded to 2.4.20- 5pxes including devfs
support. The DHCP client was changed to udhcpc with more recognized
options. Remote management has been greatly improved. Options to remote
manage the thin clients include a telnet server, Web management
interface, and session shadowing. ICA Client 7.00 is now supported as are
LTSP Sessions. Rdesktop was upgraded to 1.2.0. NBD server configuration
is included for local devices sharing.
