Using Plasmanetix and Hopnetix as the ultimate thin client.

Hopnetix has the following advantages over using traditional thin clients:

1. there is no local operating system (OS) to install - less cost at purchase
2. there is no local OS to maintain or update - less cost at run time
3. the image is managed by a central server - no update time
4. there is no need for hard disk or flash memory - lower cost at purchase and greater mean time before failure (MTBF)

Hopnetix offers the greenest and ultimate thin client. Traditional thin clients require additional components.
