thanks.

Ummm - I don't think the t5325 is compatible with Magicjack as it uses the HP ThinPro OS not Win XPe OS that other HP thin clients use. ThinPro is a Linux based OS used to run terminal services or RDP (Remote Desktop). Coupled with the fact that the processor is no X86 based that I can see makes it so you probably can't put a Windows OS on it.

Just sayin...... I could be wrong.

You don't seem to understand. This thin client has an RISC/ARM processor in it. To my knowledge, that processor will not and can not run windows. It is not an X86 based processor that Windows (any type of MS Windows) requires to run.. It is designed to run an OS (a type of Linux in this case) that supports remote desktop (RDP protocol) so that you can control a server that is running Windows, not run windows natively.

And again, I may be wrong, but that is my understanding of this piece of hardware.

Ahhhh, i see, but i can use it with linux, umm , interesting

Not to further burst your bubble, but these thin clients use an ARM5 processor. Current Linux distros support ARM7. Support between the distro and the processor in Linux is very specific. I think you need to go back to kernel 2.6.26 for ARM5 support but even that I'm not sure of.

I wish you the best of luck.
