  It is regular computer where applications are installed and run locally. It allows faster startup times and access to local devices such as CD-writers but has a big maintenance cost as any workstation's operative system and software must be installed, maintained and configured individually.
  
  '''Diskless Workstation'''<<BR>>
- It is a solution between a thin client and a workstation. It boots from the network, mounts its root file system from its next-server, and runs all applications on the local hardware. You can think about it like a regular workstation with a very long hard drive cable. '''NOTE:''' Diskless workstations are also marketed using the term "?LowFat Clients" or "Halfthin Clients" or "stateless workstations".

  '''Roaming Laptop'''<<BR>>
  They are like workstations but capable of authentication using cached credentials, meaning it can be used outside the school network. The users' files and profiles are stored on the local disk.
