Can someone please offer advice on trade-offs between seamlessrdp and the 2x.com application server software? I would like to use one of them (or something else if you think it is better) to open windows XP applications running on an XP server, on a linux client. I have not been able to sort out the tradeoffs. I want to open individual applications, rather than the full desktop. It would be nice to be able to toggle between full screen mode and a smaller window at will. In particular I care about the following: 1) do I need to patch the XP OS to allow multiple applications (e.g. powerpoint, excel, and word) to be opened simultaneously? I anticipate that only one linux user will be opening all the applications as one XP user. I understand that this would not be an issue if I ran the terminal server version of the OS, but what about XP which is ostensibly a single user OS? 2) is the level of security equivalent between the two products? 3) is the usability of the two products equivalent in terms of performance, installation, and usability? 4) do they both require special purpose client software on the linux box, or is rdesktop sufficient? 4) I have seen a bit of discussion regarding GPL violations for the 2x application server. Was this sorted out? Thanks Phil ____________________________________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo!
