Abstract
In this paper, we review the evolution of computing, especially the development of thin client computing. Then, our study is focused on one of the most popular thin-client computing mode: server based computing. After an analysis of the problems existing in server based computing, a revised server based computing model is given, which combines the advantages of other thin-client model. As proof of our concept, our ideas are implemented in detail on our embedded platform: THUMP-NC. Some open source software, including rdesktop and VNC, are used in our implementations.
