Yesterday I was given a Dell Wyse 3040 thin terminal/client - It had a bios password - but worked fine. After a little messing around I got the password cleared and was able to install Linux on it without any issues.
The 3040 is a Atom Quad Core, mine has 16gb flash storage, & 2gb ram, 12v system.

So I decided on installing a lightweight distro one I've not used before with LxQT desktop called SparkyLinux. After removing stuff I'll not use on this box like Libre Office, & other stuff - I am left with just over 6.5gb of free space.
And it's a zippy little box considering it's only 2gb of ram, and almost no storage space.
I plan on using this as a hub for #syncthing with an external drive - replacing one my aging raspberry PIs
