This chapter introduces NeoLinux thin clients and describes the scope of this User Manual.
What is a NeoLinux Thin Client?
The Thin Client | Neoware thin clients are sleek computing devices that contain no |
| hard drive, fan, or other moving parts, making them extremely |
| reliable and completely silent. Thin clients provide access to |
| programs running on network servers. Generally as you work, your |
| thin client sends keystrokes and mouse clicks to the server, which |
| responds with screen updates for your monitor. Most of the |
| processing occurs on the server. Due to the speed of modern |
| computer networks, this exchange happens as fast as, and |
| frequently faster than, processing on a personal computer. |
| Neoware thin clients can be used with standard VGA, SVGA, and |
| |
| other pointing devices. |
| Configurations vary with respect to the specific number of parallel |
| port, serial port(s), and USB ports that are provided. When avail- |
| able, these ports may be used for peripheral devices that may |
| include printers, modems, floppy drives, zip drives, |
| bar code scanners. The version of software installed in your thin |
| client will determine which types of peripherals may be used. |
