A friend of mine, who is a doctor, would like to set up a new office
computer system.  He would like to use a Windows platform and full
graphical access from 4 or 5 attached terminals (not PCs).  He would like
to do this as cheaply as possible.  Any suggestions on the necessary
hardware and software to do this?

I know that a Unix/Linux box can support dumb terminals using X-terminal,
but those are limited to character-based displays and he doesn't have the
knowledge to run a Unix/Linux box.  Would a "thin-client" work in this
configuration?  What would be required to run a thin-client server?

Thanks for all your help!
Ron
