So I’ve had this Wyse terminal for a while now from the company I work for.

While the installed OS is nice, it’s lacking a few features I’d like.
So with their blessings I was able to take one some to see what I can do with it!

It’s got a 1GHz VIA CPU, 512MB of RAM, and a 128MB IDE SSD.

I initially tried to get Windows 7 Embedded on it after adding more RAM, but the performance from running Windows from a flash drive leaves a lot to be desired.

So now I’m going to try Linux instead.
I’m drawn to a distro like Thinstation since it’s designed for tiny devices.
However I have always enjoyed Arch Linux for it’s customization and community.

We’ll see which one can be crammed into 128MB of space and ran like a champ!
