Interesting info.  The mini-itx always fascinates me.

Recently, VIA has begun selling its C7- and C7-M series CPUs, each of which comprises an x86 processor and an encryption-coprocessor.  This new family of CPUs may greatly tip the balance b/t FreeNX and LTSP, more in favor of the former (in that the coprocessor relieves the main CPU from doing the encryption chores required by FreeNX).  With VMWare, the main Linux box can actually double as a Windows server. (Or ???)  Wayne
