NComputing packages up ARM PC into RX300 box

Using the Raspberry Pi 3 as a Windows thin client is not a new idea[1], but
NComputing has wrapped it all up in a nice package for its target markets of
schools and verticals.…

There are a number of Pi-based solutions in this space, both free
and commercial.

I'd look into them, but I don't need a Win Thin Client myself.

I did just set up a little Raspi with Raspbian (Wheezy I think) and
Leafnode, and it makes a nice little news spool.  Amazing i was previously
using much more serious hardware to do the same thing.  That computer kicked
the bucket last night (sniff sniff) so I hooked up the Raspberry and was
surprised by just how well it performed the same tasks, at a fraction of the
power draw.

This little boxes are so much fun.

	For quite a while mine was running leafnode, yate (SIP PBX),
outgoing mail, DNS and NTP for my network and was idling most of the
time, then I moved everything onto my router or jails on my file server
making it redundant.

How did you handle outgoing mail?  Like postfix collecting a mail spool from
local boxes and batching them over SMTP to your ISP, or something like that?

	Just exim listening for connections from internal machines and
pushing the mail to my ISP (at one stage it was sending mail directly but
these days that tends to get blocked). Doing it this way means I don't have
to reconfigure everything when I change ISPs.
