If you need multiple users, you do not want to use XP; you will need Server 03/08 (preferably 08 r2)

Hi guys, I need some design advice if it's ok...... Basically what I am going to do is setup a Sun Fire V20z with 6GB of RAM and 2 x 73GB HD's running Ubuntu 9.04 or 9.10 and install the latest SRSS on it. Now since I don't know much about Windows apart from single XP based desktop systems which I haven't used for many years, I would like to find out the best way of enabling multiple users to login to Win?? To describe my situation better, we have some software which is an accounting program which will only work with Windows; now in order to get this to work with Rays I can run the setup in 3 different ways: 1) VBox VDI image of XP 2) Separate machine running Win XP or Server 2k3/8 and rdp with Win connector 3) VBox VDI image of Win Server 2k3/8 and rdp with Win connector I could also use kiosk mode as the users will have Sun Smart Cards to seamlessly open into Win or use a separate VBox style window for the MS display - I am not sure which would work best. Also I am considering installing the Sun Global Desktop software suite too on the machine but I don't think it will work with Ubuntu, I know CentOS works fine or Solaris..... for out of office access to the office instead of using a VPN; has anyone got any success stories on this?? I know there is an SGD mailing list which I am subscribed to also but since it's kinda combined with my SRSS issue I wanted to post here :-) Last thing quickly, is that I run a single Ray at home currently with very basic setup so is there any help on kiosk mode or any examples that I can have a look at?? I can download the SRSS admin manual from filberto.org site which is fine but was wanting a quick fix I guess!! Anyhow many thanks to any responses and best regards, Kaya _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
