You don't need a mainframe for that. Take a look at http://www.ltsp.org It's slick as all hell. I have a Capio 616 terminal of my own in my theatre lobby that runs off of this F8 computer, and I built, support and maintain a system with six or seven Capio 600-series terminals that run off of a Centos 5 system. The chap who owns that setup is about to purchase another half-dozen or so of those terminals, in fact. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
