Hi
I'm creating a windows RDS environment and would like to turn some of my old workstations into ThinClients.... can someone please let me know whether I can do this with the 2x OS and if I need anything else (ie the ThinClientServer)....

I'm at a loss

Hi there,

yes, the 2xOS allows you to turn old PC into thin clients.

The 2xThinClientServer is not needed although it's a usefull management tool when it comes to central manage thin clients.

Please have a look here:

- download 2xOS (http://www.2x.com/os/downloadlinks/)
- 2x manuals (http://www.2x.com/documentation/)

Spend attention to the hardware:

- hardware compartibility list (http://www.2x.com/os/hardware/)

Please check the different releases from the download side:

Latest (Default) - This version should be used for hardware manufactured between 2008 and 2009. This version uses an XOrg XServer 7.5 (1.7) and Kernel 2.6.34.
