[GRLUG] Thin clients

[Alex Colcernian]

Hey Guys,

Hate to slide a shameless promo in the mailing list, but i've watched 
your discussions for quite a long time. GRLUG list is one of the most 
active in Michigan, with conversation that is often interesting to read.

We're the LTSP / DisklessWorkstations.com guys. Been doing Thin Clients 
for awhile. We're on the east side of the state in Troy.

Have a look at our website, feel free to e-mail me questions.
