A Thin Client is a keyboard/display on the server and as such it behaves EXACTLY as one expects and wants. A Fat Client (and there are lots) has its own IP address etc. If you want FAT choose FAT. LTSP and local apps will give some of the FAT features, but it will take fiddling to get right and IMHO it is not a solution. I know nothing about citrix, but I'm sure that they are NOT thin clients (If they were then by definition you could not tell one instance from the server, or another) James ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
