How to host apps for thin-clients for cheap on a home network?
Hello,

I am planning to build a HP Proliant DL380 server w/ Debian. I would like to connect 6 or 8 thin clients (or zero-clients) to this server and host the applications for the thin clients. The thin-clients are all wireless LAN. All data created by users on the thin clients saved on the server setup. This is for personal use, so I do not want to rack up large expenses. What type of a solution can you recommend? I've heard of Citrix XenApp but was told it was costly. Are there free solutions? I really like the idea of inexpensive thin-clients. Do you have another suggestion if thin-clients are a bust? I'm also considering a Cisco Access Server, I thought I'd mention it although it is probably not necessary for answering this question.
Thank you.

usbipd

USBIP(8)						  System Administration Utilities						  USBIP(8)

NAME

       usbipd - USB/IP server daemon

SYNOPSIS

       usbipd [options]

DESCRIPTION

       usbipd provides USB/IP clients access to exported USB devices.

       Devices have to explicitly be exported using usbip bind before usbipd makes them available to other hosts.

       The  daemon accepts connections from USB/IP clients on TCP port 3240.  The clients authorised to connect may be configured as documented in
       hosts_access(5).

OPTIONS

       -D, --daemon

	      Run as a daemon process.

       -d, --debug

	      Print debugging information.

       -v, --version

	      Show version.

LIMITATIONS

       usbipd offers no authentication or authorization for USB/IP. Any USB/IP client running on an authorised host can connect and  use  exported
       devices.

EXAMPLES

	   server:# modprobe usbip

	   server:# usbipd -D
	       - Start usbip daemon.

	   server:# usbip list
	       - List driver assignments for usb devices.

	   server:# usbip bind -b 1-2
	       - Bind usbip-host.ko to the device of busid 1-2.
	       - A usb device 1-2 is now exportable to other hosts!
	       - Use 'usbip unbind -b 1-2' when you want to shutdown exporting and use the device locally.
