      Doing a terminal server with Linux is a lot more work. Linux itself handles it beautifully, but the connection protocols not so much.

      That seems like an issue. Why are connection protocols here an issue?

        Linux can now be a terminal server too using the XRDP packages. I've set this up and it works well. Only works for X systems... Wayland, is not supported yet. 😞

          @dafyre mentioned setting up RDS for another topic here and inquired about the cost (being prohibitive or not). Knowing that the client software requires Windows - the cost is going to be high.

          So asking @scottalanmiller and anyone else who has setup RDS/VDI environments how have they performed? Any gotcha's for different fat-clients?

          I don't have any projects that would require this, but I think it would be interesting to setup in the lab.

          Back to @DustinB3403's original topic...

          Yes, I have configured VDI with Hyper-V as well as have a wide array of RemoteApps available.

          Another area of IT manages a VMware View setup that we have several labs and public workstations connected to with Zero Clients, and those have worked well too.

          I've run into a few Gotchas with apps like AutoCad and a few others that don't play nicely in VDI (but not because of graphics issues!).

          If nothing else, I'd recommend you spin something up using eval licenses and see how it works.

              This looks pretty cool. I may have to give it a go.

                  It's built in Perl. Who does that?

                    It's got support for Ubuntu and Fedora so it can't be horrible.

                      Just noticed that, support ONLY for them. Interesting.

                        Yeah, meaning CentOS/Debian are up the creek.

                        It may be just an odd translation on their docs page. I was reading some of it and found some very odd sentences.

                          Just not support, still works. Instructions there for them.

                            Too bad it is KVM only right now. Not that KVM is bad, it's just early. The have LXC coming "soon" and that will be really awesome. I want VDI on LXC so that we can do it faster and on top of Scale HC3.
