Question Is HP MS6200 system compatible Userful Multiseat?


Greetings all!

I'm a typical Windows user trying to learn about Linux.
I'm ordering an HP multiseat system with freedos as OS.
The HP MS6200 SFF has the following features: PC Intel Core i7-2600, 500GB HDD 7200 SATA, DVD+/-RW, 8GB PC3-10600 Memory(dl ch)
I also ordered a couple of 200t thin client units for my small office. Now, instead of Windows MultiPoint Server 2011 Premium, I'm considering using Userful Multiseat. Does anyone know whether the HP MS6200 is compatible with Userful Multiseat?
If so, is there any "how-to's" or user guides available to help me setup above system to work with Linux? Thank you

Thank you Emmanuel!
Great, I'll visit website as suggested. Also, if anyone here has already converted this machine to a Multiseat Linux system and is willing to share potential trouble spots or pitfalls, I'd appreciate your input as well.
Cheers!

It's simple. Download the ISO, burn it on a DVD, and boot from DVD.
Then follow the install instructions

Yes, it looks simple enough. ISO has been burned to DVD, awaiting delivery of system for installation.
Thanks again!

I was able to install Userful Multiseat as per instruction but I have been unable to see/access USB devices such as thumbnail drives or a Tomtom Navigation device.
I've only attached one HP t200 thin client station and everything seems to work fine so far. When I double-click on the "Computer" icon on both, host PC and HP t200 station, only the main drive shows.
Would somebody care to help me troubleshoot this USB issue?
Thanks,

Hi Emmanuel!
I make LAN connection between stations, but unable to see my USB drive & Tomtom GPS. However, I can see my IPod & access its picture files from both stations. It looks like a driver issue???

With what device do you connect the screen keyboard and mouse to the LAN?

So you're connected with USB not LAN?

I use both.
1. Mice and keyboards are connected to host PC and thin client via USB as the only option
2. Thin client and Host PC are connected over LAN via switch ports.
My thin clients will be installed far apart in different rooms. So, over the LAN connection is my best option.
