>>I'm not familiar with GraphOn, do they have a history u are familiar with? What is the performance of their product like? Are there competing products to GraphOn? Does Citrix Winframe enable the same thing, Win apps on Linux Clients from a Linux server?<< Mowa - Yes, the Graphon product is basically the same as the Citrix product. You run a thin client on virtually any OS, which connects to an NT server running in a multi-user mode. You can then run Windows apps on your non-windows computer. Or rather, you can run them from your non-windows computer. The apps are actually running on the server, and you are just accessing them remotely. Despite Tom's bad experiences with NCD WinFrame, Citrix WinFrame does work. It's in broad use in many large corporations. Interestingly, in the majority of installations, the client machines are also running Windows, but there are Citrix clients available for pretty much all operating systems. If you're interested in making a play in this software area, Citrix is far and away the leader, both in market share and technology. Check out the Citrix forum here on SI. - Allen
