Re: WYSE and Citrix "After a foray with thin clients using Sun Microsystems' Java software and then the Linux operating system, Wyse has settled on a special versions of Microsoft Windows or its own operating system.....Wyse introduced a Linux-based thin client last year but will be phasing out that machine because Linux didn't have adequate support from companies that made bar-code readers, scanners, printers and other hardware with which the thin clients had to be able to communicate." ____________________ Innuit- Before I read the story you linked to(excerpts above), I was certain the answer was, YES. I was surprised after reading the above, to hear how much WYSE was thin-client agnostic. My first exposure to Citrix was via WYSE around five years ago(I think?). I thought they pushed ICA heavily. Apparently I was wrong. Here is the website where you can probably find an answer to your question. Sounds like an interesting product. And I know CTXS just developed a thin-client for streaming media. Sounds like an WYSE/ICA product combo to me: wyse.com -MikeM(From Florida)
