  • CLI Unveils Ubuntu-Based Thin Clients

    February 8, 2011 Alex Woodie

    Computer Lab International last week announced that it is now shipping the Ubuntu distribution of the Linux operating system with two thin client terminals. The goal in switching Linux operating systems was to maintain a high level of performance while providing greater flexibility and usability, the vendor says.

    CLI is delivering Ubuntu Linux with two terminals the ST6800 and the MT2300. The ST6800 is a high-end terminal that’s powered by a 1.6 GHz VIA Eden C7 processor and can support dual video displays. The MT2300 is one of CLI’s value terminals, and is equipped with a 500 Mhz VIA Eden C7 processor.

    In the past, CLI used the Mandrake Linux distribution (now called Mandrivia) with its thin clients. Now with Ubuntu, CLI has an operating system that it thinks will be easier on users.

    “We believe our newest and most robust Linux offering will bridge the gap traditionally had with Linux by providing functionality more in line with full Windows, without compromising price point or features,” stated CLI technology director Jason Marshall in a press release.

    Features of the new Ubuntu-based thin clients include the latest release of the Firefox Web browser, the Synaptic graphical package management program, printing support, and the capability to deploy the thin client as a kiosk computer. The devices support 5250, 3270, and VT connectivity to midrange, mainframe, and Unix hosts; support for RDP and ICA provide connections to Microsoft and Citrix environments.

    Embrace VS Code for IBM i Development

    The IBM i development landscape is evolving with modern tools that enhance efficiency and collaboration. Ready to make the move to VS Code for IBM i?

    Join us for this webinar where we’ll showcase how VS Code can serve as a powerful editor for native IBM i code and explore the essential extensions that make it possible.

    In this session, you’ll discover:

    • How ARCAD’s integration with VS Code provides deep metadata insights, allowing developers to assess the impact of their changes upfront.
    • The role of Git in enabling seamless collaboration between developers using tools like SEU, RDi, and VS Code.
    • Powerful extensions for code quality, security, impact analysis, smart build, and automated RPG conversion to Free Form.
    • How non-IBM i developers can now contribute to IBM i projects without prior knowledge of its specifics, while ensuring full control over their changes.

    The future of IBM i development is here. Let ARCAD be your guide!
