Charley,

A "thin client" is a PC like machine which handles the presentation of
information without doing a lot of the underlying processing. Think of
it as the "windows" part of the Windows OS without all the other
computational and input/output overhead.

A network appliance is any device connected to a network that provides
services to the network - a printer is an obvious example of a network
appliance.

IT departments like thin clients, because it gives them control of the
computing environment, whereas Users generally hate them because it
reduces their control - such is the battle that is continually waged in
a modern company between the IT department and the lines-of-business.
(bin there, done that)

Also, Linux based software is gaining increasing favor because it is
robust, cheap, and I would argue more secure than MS's products.

There are scores of companies offering these kinds of Unix based
products, although I don't follow them closely. perhaps someone else has
more information on this specific company.
