We have got wyse winterms working, not fantastic performance, but
working never the less.

There is some work to do to make them work though. works with ltsp4.2
but not tried it with edubuntu (for Local Disk Access reasons), this
shouldn't be any different really Its just a case of taking the kernel
and initrd the clients use to boot, out of /tftpboot (or where ever) and
flashing this to the on board "Compact Flash" card (not actually compact
flash, but its in a compact flash case!)

more info here: winterm.gaast.net

watch out for more on the ubuntu/edubuntu and ltsp wiki. When I can get
enough time to write it up.
