    I don't know much about these but you could have a look at http://www.2x.com/pxes/

    It's a thin client package that seems to work in a number of different environments

    Re: Thinstation on VMWare

    getting x running on vmware is not easy, you need the right driver and some tweaks to the config. Are there any precreated images for vmware player? I've not really looked at what is availiable for it.

    I can send you my debian x config if its any use, had trouble with the mouse on it. I can't get it until monday though.

    @pcprofessor: Thank for that but I need Thinstion for my talk at the conference.

    @DMcCoy: X config for Thinstation works a little differently

    I find qemu better than vmware for such purposes, usually much easier to make stuff work, and speed is pretty similar.
