You have three choices:

1) Network station manager (NSM). This is a customized version of NetBSD.
2) Workspace On Demand.
3) Linux. This is not officially supported at this time.

Not all options are available for all models of the Netstation. Refer to the
following website for details:
http://www.pc.ibm.com/ww/networkstation/Software/software.html

There is no charge for NSM, and it can be installed to NT, *nix, or AS/400.

I have just begun a trial of the Netvista 2800 with Citrix Metaframe to
access Win32 applications. If you have any specific questions, feel free to
contact me privately.
