[rescue] IBM thin clients - any info?

Wed Oct 8 21:38:46 CDT 2003

Does anyone have practical experience with these?

They look like cheap enough systems for use as (basically) Xterms,
with maybe a little more smarts.

The IBM site does not have much info on these:

IBM 8361-110 PowerPC Thin Client
see http://w2.pcsurplusonline.com/viewprod.cfm?ID=1562

IBM 8362-A52 Network Station Series 1000 Thin Client (with 32MB RAM)
http://w2.pcsurplusonline.com/viewprod.cfm?ID=1561

IBM 8362-A53 Network Station Series 1000 Thin Client (with 64MB RAM)
http://w2.pcsurplusonline.com/viewprod.cfm?ID=1546

According to this, the bottom two natively run ... NetBSD ???

Any info, especially firsthand experience, greatly appreciated...
