the other day I picked up some good use
dell keyboards for $5 and then the
bottom of the box was this thing an old
Dell Wyse thin-client but even if it
works given its age and all could it
possibly be of any use and is it worthy
of a little TLC restoration let's find
out together as the story unfolds hello
friends and welcome what we do here just
go back back back
[Music]
thank Lian it's mainly a terminal that
can be connected to a server that can
mark the operations as if you yourself
were running a full powered PC but in
all reality is minimal specs and no
moving parts inside with a read-only
operating system that communicates with
a secure mainframe server there is no
need to secure each terminal as for it's
incapable of storing information thus
saving money on software licensing fees
but I just want to see what I can do
with it if anything so let's go

now finding a Linux OS that would work
with this little guy was not easy for
someone with limited knowledge of its
architecture after about 40 or so new
and old 32-bit downloaded distros and a
day with Rufus I saw a USB tool I did
find a few that worked like puppy and
DSL packages hey if for some reason that
uh you have done this what have you used
