nComputing is the easiest to deal with, I think.  They'd probably want DeepFreeze to go with it.

Care to reply? Based on our experience and since it's a new and self-contained project, I' be inclined towards NComputing..

A donor in town is interested in funding a small computer lab for our
small public library.

Funds will be limited, both initially & down the road, so I'm
considering going the thin client route.

Thoughts on thin clients as a solution?

Rough cost estimate to set up an 8-10 client lab?

Experiences with Pano Logic, MiniFrame, NComputing, Userful, or other vendors?

The clients would be used mainly for classes (internet skills, MS office, etc.).

Grateful for any advice!

Best,

Cab Vinton, Director
