KVM-VDI is also capable to use SPICE HTML5 (derived form eyeOS SPICE HTML5 client, which supports protocol compression and is much faster, than native HTML5 client).
Though standalone SPICE client is better for thin clients - you can have a USB device redirection and also even faster graphics. This has some limitations, - standalone SPICE client is usable only inside hypervisor network, so it can't be used from any network location. This is when HTML5 client comes in handy.

Hello everybody. I'm new here - just joined.
I found a discussion regarding VDI on this site, so I've decided to join and give my two cents.
I'm a Linux administrator in biggest university in my country, also I'm a developer of fully open source VDI solution, called "KVM-VDI" (https://github.com/Seitanas/kvm-vdi), which we do use in our computer classes.
Hope I be able to help you in any Linux/Unix questions and also VDI-oriented talks.

@scottalanmiller Basically, if you can get Lumina to be run from GDM3 manager, you are good to go. If not, you will be provided with PC-BSD VDI anyway, but you will be skipped with SSO though, - so you will have to enter your password to OS login screen.

Some more update on KVM-VDI. A quick demo on basic functions:

Thank you for welcome.
Yes, this is the thread that pulled me in was https://www.mangolassi.it/topic/9900/has-anyone-played-with-kvm-vdi
I'm based in Vilnius, Lithuania. And I work in Vilnius University: http://www.vu.lt/en/

@dafyre No, it is mainly used for connecting thin clients over SPICE, or web browsers via HTML5 SPICE.

@dafyre yes, you can create regular machines - they are called "simple machines". But still KVM-VDI is more vdi oriented.
