About Ubuntu+VDI: Linux is a perfectly fine multiuser system. 50 user can
work on a Linux server without problems. I do not need the overhead
of 50 VMs. So, I strongly prefer SRSS running directly on Linux.
Also, I tried VDI 3.0 + Ubuntu VM a year ago and I was not impressed.
Besides other glitches, it looked ugly. As I understand it,
the reason was that alpha blending does not work somewhere in the
X11 <--------> RDP <--------> X11 <------> ALP
virtualbox uttsc SRSS
protocol translation chain. And I have the mild fear that this
impressive protocol chain will not help to improve multimedia capabilities.
My wishlist would be:
1. Improve the X server. It should not be possible to crash it by
starting google earth or matlab. Add fashionable extensions like Composite
or DRI2.
2. Integrate the USB support into the Linux USB infrastructure.
I have seen a couple of USB flash drives which work fine under Linux but
not under SRSS on Linux.
Some smaller points which could be helpful:
- Remove the dependency on old/deprecated libraries like glib-1.2 and motif
- make the awk, sed... scripts POSIX compatible and avoid things like
if [ `uname` = "Linux" ]
then
NAWK=/usr/bin/gawk
else
NAWK=/usr/bin/nawk
fi
