Linux Terminal Server : Thin Client Computing in Application Mode



Alrite fellas, here I tried at home running the Terminal Server/Services on RHEL 3 on a application mode. What you'll be needing is...
  • CUPS/Samba running on your Terminal Server (To print your work locally)
  • Share your printer over network(if you have one) or just have cups find it locally.
  • You'll need OpenOffice installed on your Linux Server.
  • NX Client binary on your machine
  • NX Server installed on your server. (see the following post Setting up FreeNX )
This is actually rather simple and cool, just follow these print screens to follow the whole setup and run scenario!

And voila you have a not only running OpenOffice writer program but also you can print it locally.


Starting up the OpenOffice application



Setting up the printer



And working with it!



Enjoy!

PS: We will try more applications on terminal services in the coming days.

The Framingham, Mass., company offers consulting services for companies that use virtualization software to improve the performance of corporate servers and cut costs in their data centers. GlassHouse also provides Internet-based data storage. "Software-as-a-service," or SaaS, companies and vendors of virtualization products have proved popular among investors in recent years as corporate customers seek alternatives to conventional packaged software. GlassHouse, with roots in both sectors, will test the strength of that interest, said Peter Falvey, managing director with Boston investment bank Revolution Partners. "It will be a bit of a bell weather," he says. "It's not as though it's the 15th SaaS m...
