Sure.  I think it should open in the most general terms, then get more
specific.  I'd steer away from specific brand names as much as possible.
(If necessary, point to a separate page outside of the cookbook proper,
like perhaps one of the existing hardware compatibility pages, and then
try to populate that page with specific brand thin-client info.)

Hardware requirements would seem to be the logical place, I agree.

Side dishes!  I like it.  (And "wine" makes an interesting pun on its
own.)
