Corel is advertising their new line of Linux computers.

On this page is a refernce to "accessing 32-bit Windows applications from a Citrix server".

Does anyone know what this is? Can you get this server for linux?

Citrix is a server technology that allows a Windows version of an X Terminal (i.e. a graphics terminal) to run a Windows desktop and Windows applications with all the processing taking place on the server. It's Windows NT trying to be Unix and X basically.

Also, they are running an Intel StrongArm SA-110 processor, what is this compared to pentiums? Is it just Intel's in-house brand of pentium? Is it a RISC processor?

StrongArm is a RISC architecture developed by ARM (what used to be Acorn RISC Machines, an offshot of the same Acorn Computers that developed the popular BBC Micro back in the early eighties). It was recently bought up by Intel, ostensibly for use as an embedded applications microprocessor. However that might not be the real reason - the latest incarnations of the StrongArm before it was sold off to Intel were already approaching Pentium speeds but with much much lower power consumption and also very much cheaper to manufacture. With continued development in that direction it would almost certainly have become an alternative CPU for desktop and laptop PCs and being much cheaper would have hurt Intel badly. I think they bought it because they had to. By the way I liked your earlier postings about e-commerce. I think your predictions are bang on.
