Getting Started with ThinStation

Social recommendations and mentions

We have tracked the following product recommendations or mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you see what people think about Thinstation and what they use it for.
  • OpenSource Thin Client?
    What about ThinStation? That can apparently bootstrap enough components to talk to Citrix, Redhat, Windows, VMWare Horizon, etc... Apparently even telnet, VMS and SSH if you're feeling really nostalgic. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Ubuntu server with Dump linux based terminals
    For your old clients, I guess that ThinStation will be fine, either you're using ThinLinc or other kind of remote access. https://thinstation.github.io/thinstation/. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Low power SFF PC to use as a thin client, that has four video outputs?
    Oh wow that'd be really great of you. ThinStation is what I've been looking at. But if the aren't locked down it should work. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Windows 10 to automatically log in and run remote desktop login, disable all other apps.
    I think that I've read good quality suggestions, but... Why waste a Windows license for it to work as a thin client? Try installing Thinstation - https://thinstation.github.io/thinstation/ (or make the computer boot it from network!). Source: over 2 years ago
  • Looking to set up a few of these Wyse clients... Advice? See comment.
    I hate ThinOS. Try to install anything else if you can. Thinstation is free. LTSP network boots its clients. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Fuck printers? Yes, most definitely, FUCK PRINTERS...Receipt Printers!
    I needed the smallest footprint lightest weight Linux I could find. I found a thin client distro called Thinstation which is really designed just for using thin clients (RDP, SSH, TN5250, etc). It has a great design with an image builder from conf files that could be hosted on a TFTP server (or even in loaded on local media in the machine if you needed it) for network boot.

  • Moving a customer from Windows to Linux, soliciting advise
    Turn existing hardware into thin stations using a purpose built distro for it: https://thinstation.github.io/thinstation/. Source: about 3 years ago
