Linux Today - LinuxPR: Nexedi and Mandrakesoft Announce rentalinux

Have a lot of old PCs you can't install current software on? Need to deploy many computers, but don't have the budget? This may be a solution. A thin client basically allows older underpowered computers to run the latest applications, by running them on a server. The Rentalinux server can host hundreds of client sessions simultaneously on one bigger server, and all your older hardware can be repurposed.
