[THIN] Re: Linux Thin Client sound issues

No thanks to horrible HP/Neo support... This issue is fixable by
upgrading to the latest Neolinux version 4.0.2.
Neolinux 3 support is basically zero now (which is what I was using).
The other reason I had to go to this version was to get dual monitor
support. Neoware had a dual monitor snap-in that worked for Neolinux 3
but alas HP no longer supports the snap-in and hasn't upgraded it to
work with newer versions Neolinux 3.x.
IMO HP seems to be pulling the plug on Neolinux. I see they have some
OS called ThinConnect/ThinPro on their new soon to be released thins.
Anybody seen one of these or know what it is? Also looks like this
new OS won't have the option of having a Citrix Desktop Receiver
(XenDesktop). The Debian powered ones do support it though. At any
rate I will be shopping for a new thin client to replace the Neoware
e140 we have been buying.
