Does anyone use Kaseya.com or GFI.com? How do they compare to these guys I found recently: <a href="http://www.n-able.com" rel="nofollow"> N-able N-central remote management<br /> </a>? What is your best take in cost vs performance among those three? I need a good advice please...

The Intel Xorg file and xrandr seem like they will allow me to make a LCD panel sync nicely. I'm also going to test using Xinerama on them for those that want this feature.<br /><br />I wish too that Intel made stand alone video cards, I would certainly buy them for testing in a heartbeat.<br /><br />The only well supported card it seems for thin clients is the ATI 9250. It fits into a regular PCI slot and does not have a fan. We are not using the proprietary driver, the open source one is working well.<br /><br />I have not looked much beyond the HP product lines, part of the decision comes from simplicity of support contracts. We already have lots of HP equipment.<br /><br />I am having some problems with performance right now on the HP 5735 when running 3D. We suspect that it's an issue of Gigabit networking, and are trying to resolve it right now.Dave Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06403055794363134691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29399536.post-41611903983404622022009-09-02T14:45:49.606-04:002009-09-02T14:45:49.606-04:00According to this link

I am keen on thin-client hardware solutions like this one which do not require a dedicated video card. However, for my needs I prefer my own monitor, mouse, and full-sized keyboard, and mobility is not an important issue for me. Thus, a thin client that is not a laptop is best for me. Are you aware of other HP _non-laptop_ thin clients that use Intel integrated graphics? <br /><br />I also have the same question for AMD/ATI integrated graphics. Of course, AMD/ATI don't yet have open-source 3D drivers, but they are getting really close which is why I am considering AMD/ATI hardware again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
