Thinstation, a basic and small Open Source "thin client" operating system supporting all major connectivity protocols, is now at version 5.0.

Thinstation 5.0, the successor of Thinstation 2.2.2, spent almost an year in development. It should have been version 2.5, but the developers wanted to depart from the 2.x series because the codebase was new.

There are too many new features and changes to mention, but Thinstation 5.0 is based on Crux Linux 2.7 and the user frontend is the same. Almost all packages have new versions from 2011/2012, including Linux kernel 3.2 and X.Org 7.6.

Thinstation 5.0 comes with a set of new hardware requirements but they are still quite low: a simple build requires 64 MB RAM and any i686 processor launched after 2003.
