Hi Carson Citrix still have the Linux client. For a long while it lagged quite significantly behind the Windows version, and there were a few very annoying bugs that I didn't get solutions to. A couple of years ago they brought out version 6 of the client, and that is rock solid. It seems to be the equivalent of the Windows version anyway. As it is, I switched to using an RDP client <http://www.rdesktop.org> which is fully open source and doesn't require the additional Citrix license (just the usual MS TS CAL). It's not quite as functional or as low bandwidth as the ICA client, but works very well nonetheless. That's how I use Notes when necessary. I was quite impressed when I heard that IBM have a Linux desktop 'distribution', even if it is only for internal use. It'd be good to have more desktop support from them.
