Try No machine NX, it can solve your latency problem with XWindow. It will take less than 15 minutes to setup. You can buy the commercial server version or install FreeNX (which is GPL). See http://www.nomachine.com and http://freenx.berlios.de/ On the thin client, you can either launch the NX Client from the OS (Windows, Linux, MacOSX and Solaris) or build a custom linux boot which will connect to the NX server. Using the NX client you can still launch the windows applications you will need. > Ultimately we want to get all our paperwork web-based so it is all done > via https through forms on browsers. > We are very small and only have a > small development team so I am looking for temporary solutions. you can setup a NX test server in less than 15 minutes. NoMachine NX is very eay to setup. -- Xavier [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09 54 06 16 26 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
