Hello Everyone,

Here at Trevecca we are working on implementing Citrix VDI across
campus.  We have been using the Citrix Receiver for Linux on CentOS on
some of our aging, low-end Celeron Dell Optiplex 170L and GX520
Desktops. Currently we simply have CentOS autologin and open firefox
to the proper URL to allow the user to input their credentials which
grants them access to an aspx javascript file which, when clicked,
launches the Citrix receiver with the proper ICA file for the virtual
desktop they have access to.

What we would like to do however, is simply pass through their
credentials straight from the gdm login screen (or some similar
login-type program) to the citrix receiver, and launch straight into
the virtual desktop, without the desktop having to first load a
browser and without requiring the end user to click on a link.

Also, I was wondering if it would be wise to use a lighter/faster
distribution than CentOS, yet still have full driver support for 170L
and GX520 Desktops.  I have been sticking with Gnome since it includes
Gstreamer, which, according to Citrix's documentation, is used by the
citrix receiver to improve the quality of video performance.

Hopefully there are others who have used the citrix receiver for linux
and have some advice, I will continue to scour other forums as well,
but any input would be greatly appreciated.
