Fair 'nuff. I'm not interested in running Citrix anyway.

Well, not cheaper than the $26 I paid for the first Neoware E100, or the $6 I paid for 
the next 3. And the entire box is 8 1/2" x 11" and 2" thick.

I'm currently looking into adding a HD or PXE code, but the BIOS is a limitation... 
That and the fact that I have no hardware documentation or experience with these 
boxes. I'm not even aware of being able to make BIOS setup changes.

But I have them booting and running FreeBSD, and that's a start. At least now I have 
a platform from which I can work.
