Thin client designation[edit]

I did supress the category "Thin Client" because Linutop is not a Thin Client.

It's a small computer without internal hard drive, but can work like any othercomputer with a external drive like USB key or USB hard drive. Lbervas 08:21, 22 May 2007 (UTC)lbervas[reply]

Paraphrasing from the Thin client page, a device marketed as a system to run web browsers or remote desktop software is a thin client. The Linutop page says it comes with a "Plug & Surf" USB key (for Internet usage in Internet cafés). This means in addition to being a small computer, it is also a thin client. Designation restored. 64.24.4.220 05:24, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would say Linutop is a Hybrid client.--Kozuch (talk) 18:56, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No moving parts?[edit]

What does it mean by "a computer w/ no moving parts"? #Peteturtle 17:54, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It means that there are no parts that are moving during normal operation. Most computers have at least two things with moving parts: a hardware drive and a fan. Moving parts wear out, so the absence of moving parts improves reliability. Furthermore, hard drives are sensitive to mechanical shocks and vibrations. The absence of hard drives allows the computer to be used in places that a hard drive would be damaged in. 75.185.66.16 14:55, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"will be" ?[edit]

Any update since May? +sj + 02:17, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No display? Please explain![edit]

From the photo, it does not appear to have a display, but "top" in the word "Linutop" makes it sound akin to "laptop", and AFAIK all laptops have displays. It would be helpful to mention what is intended in terms of display. E.g., does it have a graphics card for an external display? -- DBooth (talk) 17:09, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
