Welcome to the PXES Universal Linux Thin Client project!

PXES is a micro Linux distribution allowing you to build thin clients or diskless workstations. Hardware not suitable for other uses like current desktop OS can be recycled and converted into a thin client.

The configuration of the micro distribution is done with an easy to use graphical tool which guides you through the required steps. After booting the thin client will be capable of accessing any Unix/Linux XDM (X Display Manager) server presenting the graphical login screen or any Microsoft Terminal Server through RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol), Citrix ICA server, VNC server or NoMachine NX.

This approach doesn't use NFS (Network File System) making it ideal to access Microsoft Terminal Server without the need of deploying a Unix/Linux NFS server or accessing services over low speed connections presents in WAN (Wide Area Networks) or Internet VPN (Virtual Private Network) environments.

Because no local devices, such diskette, cd-rom or hard disks are needed, you can dramatically reduce the change of virus and security incidents, as well as lower the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership). If needed, you can configure the clients to use sound, local print services, USB, cd-rom, etc.
