Minimal OS that boots into RDP login prompt?

  • 772

I'm doing some research into thin clients. I've configured an RDP server on a home PC with Linux. I have an older desktop computer that I want to use as a thin client.

Although I could just install an RDP client on its current OS (Windows XP), I'm looking for a minimalistic OS that presents the user with an RDP login prompt. This should greatly decrease the computer's startup time. Is there such an OS out there?

remote-desktop remote-access rdp thin-client

    You may be interested in Thinstation, which I believe should fit your needs admirably.

  2. Yes, one of them can be found on thin client PCs: Windows CE.

    I'm sure there's *nix distros out there that can do a more exciting job :-)
