RE: support for a small US college going GNU?

Citrix is definitely expensive, but many IT shops have found it to be=0D=0A=
highly cost effective. That's why they were one of the few companies=0D=0At=
hat did fairly well during the downturn in 2001-2003 because companies=0D=0A=
bought their stuff to save money. I used to work for Citrix, so I met=0D=0A=
some customers with some fairly compelling stories, despite the fact=0D=0At=
hat Citrix generally pleases the IS/IT staff to no end, and generally=0D=0A=
makes things somewhat less flexible for the end users. I'm not a huge=0D=0A=
fan of Metaframe, but they definitely fill a niche that's extremely=0D=0Ahe=
lpful at times.=0D=0A=0D=0ACheck out www.citrix.com for further information=
