Hello Martin > Or am I wrong and I should invest time to get the apps to run on the > Linux Server (wine + open office)?
I do not recommend wine. We run Linux with LTSP and W2k3 on the same machines, where w2k3 is installed in a VMWare Server. Works fine and is a better load balance if all users use either x screen or rdesktop screen at the same time. Having Windows and Linux on different Servers would be ineffective if only one OS is used at a time. We use multiple Duan Xeon Server with 2 GB RAM, each server for 20 Clients. Both Linux Apps and Windows Apps are running fine, nevertheless the rdp Protocal has soem disadvantages with multimedia applications but the programs you want to use should work fine over rdesktop. I suggest to run as much as possible (Internet, Office) on the Linux side and use the w2k3 Server only for those applications which are not available as Linux-programs. But if the users prefer Windows OS you can set the terminal configuration to only show the rdesktop screen. (You do not need to configure any Linux screen) -- Kai Wollweber IGS Eckernförde ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
