Embedded DOS & ThinClients


Embedded DOS

      Almost everything we touch today has some sort of computer chip in it. From the shop floor in industry to our washing machines. During Christmas I went over to my local pub. A mate of mine went to turn on the jukebox and called me over and said you'll like this. As it booted to my surprize this networked jukebox booted MSDOS (can't remeber which version). After it booted and I looked at the screen, you could see it was obviously DOS graphics.
      So, to start off this section on Embedded DOS Solutions I've got some links to sites that deal embedded DOS, from the OS itself to networking software.


ThinClients


      Thinclient are a way to remote boot a computer from a central server making updates, management and security as-easy-as fudge. Based around DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) and TFTP (Trival File Transport Protocol).
      In the months running up Christmas I was working on some ThinClient architecture. Basiclly Thinclients use two types of OS Linux and DOS. There are a few links to get you started.
