Thin-client accessed OS

[Schmarvin]

Looking for an operating system, other than Windows Server, that will accommodate something similar to RDP sessions. But, being that I can just grab a simple thin client or minimal hardware PC and connect across a network to the host and load a desktop with simple apps.

 

 

Is there something like this? I remember some schools/doctors offices have this and it seems fine for the basic stuff.

Enterprises were probably using citrix.

 

If you want something free I would install XenServer hypervisor on some beefy hardware and put some kind of Linux VMs on it than just install a VNC client on the thin computer to connect to the VM on the server via VNC.

You're probably thinking of Citrix XenApp / Citrix XenDesktop or similar. Most organizations use something similar if not Windows AND Citrix together.

Citrix XenDesktop is what I was thinking of. And yes, I know its enterprise. My company has more than a few users. And additional users I need to establish external access for. Citrix is the perfect solution.
