Easily turn a PC into a Terminal Server Client

There are a number of projects out there which enable us to turn ordinary PCs into terminal server clients. The purpose of this project is to make the conversion not only possible, but easy.

Platform and Function

• PC hardware with working NIC, >=1G hard drive, bootable CD-ROM, video and screen, keyboard, and mouse.
• Connects to (and requires as a prerequisite) one server set up in available DNS which can serve clients using the RDP protocol, a la those built using the tools sold by a well-known corporation in Redmond, WA, USA.
• Uses Puppy Linux as a base. Right now we are offering pctsc 1.2.2, which requires Puppy Linux 4.2.

Downloads

You'll need:

• Puppy Linux 4.2 burned to CD from ISO
• The instructions, either printed out or available on another nearby machine
• The pctsc 1.2.2 package, which is good to download directly to the box as part of the install; the instructions reflect this. It's a very good way to verify network configuration!
