[Thinlinc-technical] Raspberry PI 2

[Jan HELLINGS]

Hi Ken,

I did a very small test with it, using the Linux Thinlinc client on Raspbian and, except for video I was very pleased with it.

I guess however that video playback slowness is due to the server on which the thinlink server software is installed (HP Microserer with Oracle Linux, the one I run my SunRay server on)
Video playback is however much better on the Pi than on the Sunrays.

Moreover ... running natively Youtube video on the Pi is smooth and nice. 
I installed openoffice on the device which runs nice too ... 

These devices will definitely replace the sunray clients.

I have used SanDisk UHS-I micorSDHC cards of 8GB.

One small problem I had was that the screen resolution sometines seems to bump.

Honestly said I'm very novice in this subject and I guess the real specialist will turn this into a very nice REAL thin client!

Price : 34 euro + 6 euro for the case + 11 euro for de micorsdhc card, usb power supply 6 euro ... for about 60 euro ... 

Greetings,
jan.
