Hi,
Not too sure what you mean. Do you mean act as something equivalent to a citrix server with thin client access ?
Or is it the other way round ? If a linux web client accessed something like citrix or M$ terminal server I'm sure it wouldn't make any difference as the accounting for concurrent use would occur on the server not the client and the server would just count connections.

Hi! ifincham,
Thanks. I am Microsoft's windows user. I never use Linux before. So far, I run Win2k terminal server to let remote site's clients to access my server, and run my application programs. But need purchase client license for every user to logon the server. If I want to be an internet application service provider, Can I use Linux server to replace Win2k terminal server to let internet users to run my application programs without purchase any license? and users can use web browser to access to Linux server without download any client software? If it is postive answer. I will start to learn Linux for my ASP project.
I never use citrix before. I have no any idea about citrix what function for.
Thanks you can give me some instructions.

You can give users shell accounts, so they can issue commands remotely-you can have them use a text based
browser(lynx) or have them connect via xservices so they can use whatver gui tools they need.
If you are familiar only with M$ the learning curve for linux can be steep-it is not something to be learned in
a couple of weeks.
Good Luck

Hi,
You can do a similar (and better) job running X remote sessions from your Win box. FOr this you have to install an X server on your computer (use XWin32, Exceed, Reflection from WRQ, etc, etc). Then telnet or ssh into the Linux box and do a xhost + (or xhost +<your IP address>), afterwards you can run any X programms. I used to have a gnome and kde session simultaneoulsy from the same Linux server on my Win2k box.
Try it, it works. Of course that you can find X-Remote HowTo a.s.o - just search google for this.
