Re-thinking thin client computing

Ndiyo is a project to promote thin client network computing which is simple, affordable, open, less environmentally damaging and less dependent on intensive technical support than current networking technology. The client destop device, named as nivo, costs less than 100 pounds, with ports for keyboard, mouse, 100M Ethernet and VGA interface. The next version will come with USB and sound interface.


PCs need to be replaced every 3 years in order to catch up with the latest software. This is an environmentally damaging trend. In a networked computing environment, thin-client will not need to be replaced and only the Server needs to be upgraded. By adopting thin-cleint computing, we are saving the world from electronic waster generated from scrapped old PCs.
