I have a project coming up. Can anybody point me in the right direction. It has to deal with a freebsd client-server set-up. we have one server P3, 256mb, 9.1 scsi hdd. And connected to this server are 20 or more PC units without hard drives. Our principal wants to utilize the hdd-less computers by booting from a bootrom or floppy, getting the graphics information from the server. how do you set-up this kind of configuraion? what software should use (other than the OS). Is there a picobsd that can be made into a graphics terminal?
