I had SL7 on one of my machines for a while and I currently have it
in a VM on my main office machine. I really like it and think it is
really well done.
Except that there is a problem that can not be worked around:
no Wine 32.
I believe we discussed it on this same list before and I showed you
how to run wine in SL7 (in container with Fedora, using either
systemd-nspawn or docker). Which is no-overhead solution, well
basically this is only overhead of having a directory with base Fedora
system in there.
Specifically,
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.scientific.user/7336
(though by now you'd want to use fedora 21 repo for more up-to-date
wine)
Docker would be a solution. I am heavily into KVM and wanted to stay with it.
Also Docker has all kind of security issues and I wanted to avoid them, as I do
penetration testing for PCI (credit card security).
Does Docker do Coherence (seamless windows)?

Hi James,
I use RDesktop a lot. That is a definite possibility. I wonder is
the Windows Seamless RPD utility will work in XP. Be fun to figure out.
When I am rdesktop'ed into my Windows users, I am always tickled
that the stupid clipboard doesn't crash. I even rdesktop into
an XRDP server running Fedora Core 21.
Thank you!
