The promoters of Puppy Linux should tout that it is the best distro for HP thin client PCs. I went through trying to install 9 other distos before successfully installing Puppy Linux on the PC's flash drive. It's great!

Hi, GregTexas. Welcome! Some while back one of the forum members, Starhawk, was interested in the use of Thin Clients. One of his postings is here:

The Windows XP it comes installed with is about useless. Only problem I had installing was right out the box the wired network was not auto reloading after reboots. I had to use one of the other network managers to get it to work.

BTW I bought this brand new PC on Ebay for $60. I use it for my wife's PC. She just wants to surf the net.
