Hello.

I have a compaq T20 which I aquired. I never had a thinclient before so I plugged it in, expecting to see a windows-ish thing appear on screen (the side says "windows powered"). But I got a debian console. But I cant work it. no matter what I type in the console, pushing enter just moves to the next line, no error or anything. I tried commands like "fdisk" and "sudo" and still no result. I would expect mashing the keyboard and hitting enter would bring up an error message, but it just moves to the next line.

So i was wondering, did I miss something obvious in debian, some special command to make something happen, or is my thinclient version of debian just broken.

(the "General discussion" category seemed the right place, but I apologise if it should have been posted somewhere else)

Screw debian, install FreeBSD or ubuntu instead.

Considering that he can't get it to do anything at all, he might have trouble getting the install off the disk/drive/internet....

He obviously has another computer, because he said that he couldn't get the computer to do anything. That includes opening a browser.
