I've build hopnetix and plasmanetix, which are operating systems and applications for diskless PCs and digital signage respectively.
Hopnetix further reduces the amount of energy needed to own a PC and of course reduces the carbon footprint further because redundant components (cd-rom and hard disk) do not need to be manufactured.
Hopnetix is based on free software, so the cost of implementation is reduced. Hopnetix includes operating system, web browser, email and business tools such as word processing, spreadsheet, database and presentation. Hopnetix is based on the free Linux operating system Debian, Knoppix live CD and PXE boot technologies.
In addition, Hopnet, a diskless version of Windows XP is available which allows you to run windows on a diskless computer. This option ensures the most continuity when using a diskless system and is a premium priced product.
Both options are ideal matches for your campaign and hardware for both the cost conscious and business
user. The Hopnet, and PlasmaNetix solution is already in use by BP in 4 international locations, Coca-cola
in 4 international locations and Kuwait chamber of commerce.

How does hopnet compares to Neoware Image Manager (that was Qualystem LAN-PC before Neoware acquired Qualystem) or Ardence BXP (that was VenturCm and that may be renamed now that Citrix acquired Ardence) ?
Do you use one of these products within hopnet ?
Thanks for your message, Yves.
hopnet gives you the flexibility of choice.
1. A bxp style XP image.
2. A read only linux image (PXE boot using LAN)
3. USB image
So you can choose what is suitable.
We do use BXP, Neoware or iscsi BOOT components where necessary.
