HP Thinclient OS alternatives

[Maui]

Kia ora Tatou,

 

I work for a charitable organization with a LARGE number of obsolete T5125, xxx35 and xxx45s.

 

As HP no longer support these models, can somebody please recommend a reliable OS alternative - such as linux and able to incorporate Citrix middleware (receiver/ica)? Preferably an OS that is still supported. Has been known to work well on the models listed and if I'm not pushing it provide some basic instuctions how to implement?

 

Regards,

Not 100% sure on this but the 2x stuff may work on the existing thinclients:

2X - Cloud Computing, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) & Application Delivery, Server Based Computing (SBC) Solutions

 

Yeap, here we go: Download 2X ThinClientServer & 2X OS the 5145 looks directly supported and the generic legacy one may work on the others.

 

Another option, although unlikely would eb to try Windows 7 thin PC if you have a MS volume license. It probably won't fit on the hardware but could be worth a shot. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/enterprise/products-and-technologies/virtualization/thinpc.aspx
