Hi, as we use the Raspberry for other things, I thought, why not have it tested as a thin client. Ok, it works. X can be installed. I then used blackbox as the local window manager. It is not a problem to run programs via telnet but the moment X comes into the game, things will get slow. The most anoying thing is the mouse which drags behind and then suddenly jumps. I am a bit surprised as I used to use a Transmeta Crusoe machine as a thin client for years without these problems and thought that the little Raspberry is just fast enough to do this. Does anybody here has some positive experience with other ARM-based machines runnning as thin clients? Erich
