Hey all, got a call from a buddy in Florida asking me about OSS alternatives to Citrix. This is WAAAY outside of my comfort zone as I know next to nothing about Citrix, or VNC for that matter (past having used it once or twice).
Buddy Jeff is opening a second office and he wants to keep his servers and data at the primary office (I know very few of the actual facts past this). Assuming his applications are on Windows servers what are his options here? Can he run a Linux desktop with a VNC connection back to his primary office over a WAN connection and pull up a Win "desktop" with access to his business apps? I'd even like to know if that is possible. I am sure that even with a good size point-to-point circuit this type of operation would be painfully slow, or would it? Has anyone installed anything like this before?
