You may not need VMWare. I think that you could probably run Windows 2003 and run CPRS GUI in terminal server sessions which can be tunneled over ssh, which I think you said is permitted. You can save money on the client since you wouldn't need to purchase new client PCs with Windows licenses. You can boot them and run Linux live CDs, wtih rdesktop (http://www.rdesktop.org), a Windows terminal server client that runs on Linux. That way, the client PCs can even be scrounged from the corporate yard sale (local disks are only needed for virtual memory paging). -- Bhaskar *************************************************************************** This electronic mail transmission contains confidential and/or privileged information intended only for the person(s) named.
