| | Converting old PCs into standalone X11 Terminals |
| | Our solution was to install a minimal Debian Linux system on them (base install plus basic networking, X, and a few utilities), and configure them to act as X terminals, allowing us to provide extremely cheap fully-graphical terminals, which are used in graduate student offices and as X interfaces to our headless Unix servers. | | | On each system, we installed just the basic Debian system from floppy, which provides a very bare-bones Linux system with networking support. | | | The next step is to modify the X terminal to connect to the XDM server using an 'indirect' query. |
