Hi,
With an X server running on a Win32 machine, it's possible to run X applications (e.g. on Linux) and have them sent over the network to appear on the Win32 machine.
Fensystems had a Windows machine running in this way at Bett.
However, has anybody tried the other way around -- having Windows applications appearing on a Linux desktop, the Windows applications all being run through a specific Windows (NT) based application server?
Either way you get the hassle of multiple logins. Easier IMHO to use Win4Lin (possibly alternativly VMware, but Win4Lin using regular files and not disk images makes some things a lot easier) to provide the support for Windows apps. Not only does this avoid separate logins but also means that Windows isn't being asked to cope with multiple user handing. Something which IME it does poorly. My only problem was failing to spec sufficent RAM to handle a class of 30 machines. -- Mark Evans St. Peter's CofE High School Phone: +44 1392 204764 X109 Fax: +44 1392 204763
