Netstation is software designed for Linux machines that can convert any PC into a diskless thin client. This program enables standard PCs to have full functionality as thin clients, reducing hardware costs significantly.
Netstation is a Linux distribution that can turn regular PCs into fully-equipped thin clients with support for all major connectivity protocols. It can be easily booted from the network through Etherboot/PXE, or from conventional media such as floppy, CD, hard drive, or flash disk. Centralization of the configuration was done to simplify terminal management.
Moreover, this software also offers support for several terminal protocols which include X-Terminal XDM, TightVNC, SSH, Telnet, Rdesktop RDP, Citrix ICA, and Tarantella. It provides various booting methods like from DHCP/TFTP with Etherboot or PXE bootrom, from floppy, hard disk, cdrom, or DOC2000 using Syslinux or from DOS using Loadlin.
The GUI modes in Netstation include a single client in a full-screen session, text sessions, and multiple concurrent clients using the local window manager. Furthermore, it offers additional features, such as local printer support through network printer emulation, automatic detection of network cards, video cards, and mouse, dynamic ".nsp" package support that can be loaded at run time, and centralized configuration using TFTP to get the configuration files.
Overall, Netstation is a powerful software that can fully transform your PCs into thin clients and enable you to access all the connectivity protocols easily. Its centralized configuration and various boot methods offer great convenience to the users.
