Colby Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2005 1:57 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: RE: [AccessD] Network booting Windows XP Well that's fine but I don't want to replace the cost of the hard disk with the cost of a license for Terminal Server. I have an action pack that gives me 10 licenses for XP (6 used currently) so I have 4 legal licenses for XP. I could go with Linux and do this (I think) but then I have to get into Linux and I would really like to avoid that. John W.

They work as web browsers and terminal services clients. Our users have access to Access, among other things.

I would like to build a handful of cheap computers with no floppy, no cd, no hard disk but I need the processing power of the PC. IOW the PC needs to power up. Load windows from a server, load a program from the server and go to work. Terminal server is generally a full on pc that boots off its own hard disk and then loads TS client (from its own hard disk). John W.
