Review of Neoware Eon Preferred 2000e - MediaGX by
dobieg
Advantages: Smaller than a digibox!
Disadvantages: Limited processing power
...As well as being a reasonable 'thin client' the Neoware Eon Preferred 2000e - MediaGX could be described as a generic Personal Computer, admittedly with a relatively modest specification, but PC nonetheless!
I came about using a Neoware system from almost entirely the opposite direction from most people.
The unit is marketed primarily as a 'thin client' - the 32Mb ROM allows a linux-based terminal emulator to run which can connect to a number of hosts using standard TCPIP over an Ethernet - and supports windows terminal emulation, 5250, TV100 etc.
The applications run on a host server, and all the client does is do the media presentation stuff.
On the other hand, looking at the system architecture, it's actually a modestly specified PC in it's own right.
At the core of the system is a Geode processor - a cut down low power version...
