You see ? This is what makes this industry so interesting. I didn't know there had ever been anything done with the reverse engineered RDP. I shall certainly be checking this out. As for the Citrix client, well, we haven't had any problems so far. Thanks for the heads up, Stuart. -----Original Message----- From: Tor Sigurdsson [mailto:tosi@orku.net] Sent: Saturday, June 01, 2002 07:06 To: James.Rocks@equant.com Cc: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] TS Client Hi, On Fri, 2002-05-31 at 20:45, James.Rocks@equant.com wrote:
Hi Stuart,
As far as I know, there is no Linux RDP (i.e. native MS TS) client. I heard RDP4 had been reverse engineered by SCO, but don't know about RDP5. This is because of the agreement between MS and Citrix.
OK ... thanks :-)
This is sooo NOT true. Check out http://www.rdesktop.org/ , download, compile and winders away :-)
However, the Citrix ICA client works wonderfully under Linux. We've actually been playing with it here for the past couple of weeks. The down side to this is that Citrix is not cheap, but if you use Linux clients, and are therefore not paying for MS client OS licences, it probably works out to be the same as MS TS. Don't hold me to these licensing issues though, I'm a techie, not a sales guy. Your local Citrix sales office should be able to help you.
This is also so not true. Ica works with *some* products, but has the obnoxious behaviour of totally freezing the client with other products ( like Navision Financials f.ex ) <snip>
