Newly released ICA client

[Ripcord]

How could he have a Citrix server if the "server" is Win98?

Well then, that settles that questions. What about VNC? I have it on both win 98 and OS X but haven't had any luck getting that to work either.

Too bad remote desktop dosen't work with win 98 (or does it)?

ICA clients just like NTRIGUE or Tektronix's version require a server. I would be interested in the Mac version of the ICA client, I've used it on SUN, SGI and Linux kit, very usefull for avoiding to actually have to deal with the enemy

I live in Britain, here everything is MS apart from what I do which is UNIX admin and not much of than anymore due to taxes, there isn't anything but derision for anything but MS, no toleration at all. No wonder Apple treats me like dirt, I pay for everthing at a higher price for bloody everyhing even though its made in Ireland.

It's truley sad, we used to be a nation if alternatives, we are useless second rate tripe. I hate working here, its 2nd rate and no longer tolerable.

I wonder if there will ever be discrimination rights for Mac users, I am made to feel like I've done something wrong, Its also late here and the first bottle of vino went down a while ago.

Citrix Client 6.30.314 worked beautifully for me today. Great software. Very fast and user friendly. I'm running 10.2.3.

Citrix Metaframe solves a lot pf problems, namely the client does get the user away from a PC on the desktop, thin clients can be very usefull from a site management point of view.

There is a UNIX Metaframe server for SUN, HP and IBM, this permits UNIX apps to display into the same ICA client, which can be a almost any UNIX machine, Mac, PC

In both cases, the applications are run elswhere, just the display and keyboard are sent back and forth.

Citrix Metaframe make good use of compressed packets, making it suitable for use over slow links.

I'd LOVE to see Metaframe ported to Mac OSX. I'd love to be able to do desktop sharing and application sharing from, and between my Macs.

IMO, VNC and Apple Remote Desktop suck for this (update rates/response times are so slow, they're so primitive and traffic bloated...) And X11 is okay (still too primitive, again IMO) but doesn't really do a whole lot for me at the moment (I want to share my Aqua apps!)

ICA/RDP's always been great for me - fast, reliable, powerful.

Jeeze, why can't I control Watson or iCal from my PC laptop?
