I don't do it that way. If necessary, I use "Pocket Connect Pro" on my Motorola XOOM Android tablet. This allows me to do a "remote login" to my MS-Windows desktop at work. I then use all my normal Windows junk from there. I don't really much like it because my tablet does not have a mouse. "Pocket Connect Pro" does have a mouse emulator, but it is a PITA to use. I do have a wireless keyboard. So once I'm in a 3270 session, I don't use the emulated mouse. Also, I can use HDMI to connect the tablet to my TV, if I want to.
But I bought a new Sony 14" laptop running MS-Windows so that I could use it. All my other PCs at home run Linux, except for the MacMini which runs "Snow Leopard". At work, we started using the TSG (Terminal Services Gateway) for "work from home" use. And Linux's RDESKTOP doesn't implement the entire protocol. So I can't use Linux any more. Curiously, at one time, I was told that the company absolutely refused to allow BYOD, due to security and HIPAA concerns. But I've put multiple USB connected disks onto my two desktops because the company refused to give me an HD gt than the "standard" 80 GiB ones they have in stock. I also have connected a large "wide screen" monitory with implied consent "so long as nobody complains to management about it." -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
