Ubuntu-us-ga Digest, Vol 12, Issue 2

This is not a normal, networked thin client. For example, it must be 
directly connected (no hubs or switches) to their special PCI card (no 
normal NIC). I doubt that the normal steps you'd take to get a thin 
client setup with Linux are applicable to this technology. Perhaps you 
should contact NComputing directly for support, since they claim their 
hardware/software is supported on Linux but only refer to Windows in 
their documentation at
