Many thanks for all the suggestions, I've got a thin client to load with
Debian, I'll try them out.

Previous thin clients I've loaded with Debian 7 due to Debian 8 being
too bloated for these minimal machines, and another with windoze XP, and
I managed to get the XP one to use the internal flash drive, the others
I used an SSD. All thin clients along with the Pi's I use run headless.

David.
