The Nivo is a new 'ultra thin' client device under development by British, not-for-profit organization Ndiyo. Its principle intended market is developing nations and the project is based upon a non-profit model. The aim of the project is to create hardware and software that can lower both financial and technical skill cost of computer service provision.

although having smaller hardware like that would be nice, everything the author talks about is already possible with a linux box using nfs and dhcp. its how my office is setup. and the hardware was practically free. just used a bunch of old systems and got new monitors for them. they boot and run rdesktop to login to a locked win2k3 session, where the user can only run 1 app. i have thought about doing the same thing at home, but only building a "media network" with mythtv and a bunch of diskless systems.
