[Thinlinc-technical] XKB based keyboard switching not working...

[Jens Langner]

Hi Andreas,

great to hear that you also finally switched to ThinLinc since SunRays are really getting outdated and not usable anymore…

Ah, you are using IGEL clients. We also evaluated these clients but for us they were way too expensive compared to the recently released "intel NUC" barebones (http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/motherboards/desktop-motherboards/nuc.html) which not only have low power consumption but are also quite cost efficient. Here in Germany you can get a celeron-based intel NUC for about 150 EUR with 2GB of RAM. Together with a "thinstation" based linux distribution (http://www.thinstation.org/) which we patched to our needs this really is currently IMHO the most efficient Thinclient for being used with ThinLinc. In fact, we are about to roll out quite a bunch of these systems (about 60+) to our users pretty soon and replace all of our SunRay systems (~120) step by step.

best regards,
jens
