I am that colleague who has built the custom Thinstation images Lubbe176 is talking about
. It is indeed possible to implement PCoIP in Thinstation, it requires some effort as this is not supported by the creators of Thinstation... Googled for info on this topic, but couldn't find any, so I figured this one out myself.
I've downloaded a Linux build environment from the Thinstation sourceforge site: http://thinstation.org/ You'll need a Linux machine for this to build. Flavor of Linux doesn't matter. My image is based on Thinstation version 2.2.2h.
After some googling I found out HP has a PCoIP client for Linux which is based on the open source vmview client. It is actually for the HP t5545 line of thin clients.... Anyway, these clients run a kind of Linux based on Debian, the client update of this is distributed as Debian *.deb files.

This is a Windows exe file, this extracts 2 *.deb files. I've copied this to an Ubuntu machine and installed the packages on this machine. This gave me a working PCoIP client in Ubuntu with USB redirection, etc.
. I've recorded the changes made to the Ubuntu machine and used this in my Thinstation build... et voila, this resulted in working PCoIP and usb redirection in Thinstation... :smileycool:. It has taken a while before I got this working, a lot of trial and error, but the result is rewarding. We've installed our image with the help of Norton Ghost on the harddrive of our clients.....
I am working on a howto, for those who are interested.
