This is the year I come up to speed on web technologies. Never heard of Guacamole until now. The front page <https://guacamole.apache.org/> explains what a "clientless remote desktop gateway" means: - We call it *clientless* because no plugins or client software are required. - Guacamole client is an HTML5 web application... As long as you have access to a web browser, you have access to your machines. - Desktops accessed through Guacamole need not physically exist. So in this context the software acts as a "gateway" to machines and/or operating systems. The video on the front page shows multiple machines being accessed from whatever machine is running the browser. Right? It's pretty nifty. The downloads page says: "Apache Guacamole is split into two subprojects: "guacamole-client", the HTML5 web application which serves the Guacamole client to users, and "guacamole-server", the remote desktop proxy which the web application communicates with." I assume that a machine must be running the guacamole server to be accessible via the client. Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
