Creating and deploying Thin-Client [ Linux Based ]

Note : any one can attempt this.

Though there are many articles are availble throughout the net; but still they lack from the either complete start to end information or they are half way articles.

Here I have tried to do the overcome this.

I am not going to explain what is thin-client or its advantage.

Most of the user [ atleast in India ] are in requirment of a window based server and diskless client which can booted from the server directly.

Requirement of creating independent thin client.

Steps

1. Install the Redhat Linux system on the system. Preferably go withfull install.

2. Compile the Kernel with following parameters.

3. Create File system.

4. Create Links.

5. Create the image.

6. Validate the image and test.

7. Enjoy own creation.

System Requirment[ Minimal ]

1. PII BASED SYSTEM 2. 256 MB RAM 3. 10 GB OR MORE - HARD DISK SPACE. 4. PREFERABLY A COLOR MONITOR 5. NORMAL 10/100 E. CARD 6. Redhat Linux versin 9 / anything is okay but this is rather easy 7. Lot of time for trying and testing 8. Some sort of hardware knowaldge.

NEED FOR A THIN CLIENT
1. Server based computing. 2. Recycling old hardware - thereby reducing e-waste. 3. Easy maintainance.
