#Linux community does someone know a tutorial for a kind of self made  #ThinClient device?

I have an old notebook with Linux which does not anymore fit my power requirements, but I have a Linuc PC in my cellar which I use as working device over #RDP since a while and I love this way.

Is there a Remote-Desktop Linux Distribution (RDP, #VNC or #Moonlight) with the sole purpose to connect a VPN on startup and directly login to a Remote-Desktop and also redirect USB-Devices to remote?

    Our client had thin clients that where managed via a controller over pxe. We replaced the hyperv with vm’s in the cloud and they didn’t want to buy new PCs. So we got them small SSDs instead and I set up a debian image with autologin and a script that asks for credentials to launch xfreerdp in fullscreen. It worked great (until they finally got new hardware).

    I can give you some of the code next week if you want.
