Linux Terminal Server

[JacKDynne]

Anyone have any success running a Linux Terminal Server? I am thinking about running one in a production environment and was wondering of anybody's experiences doing something similar....

Any thoughts are fully appreciated

TIA

UNIX, and I assume Linux also, fully supports client access from other workstations (any OS) using Telnet or X-Windows. Unlike Windows it has always been a client server OS.

I'm googling for some resources on x windows - anybody know of any good ones?

Will you be using Windows boxes to connect to the linux server, or will the workstations run linux too?

If you are looking for a Windows X client, try eXceed. Most Linux distros have X support built in.

I think that you should take a look at Xorg (1). For the thinclients you can try Xserver (2).

[EDIT] Hmmm... the url tags aren't working.
