[olug] xrdp in EPEL

[Craig Wolf]

You have the right site!  Their software is cheap compared to the others we looked at but around $100k for all staff/students in our organizations is not cheap BUT a good price (Citrix was OVER $4 Million for just the software license at install).
 
We are prepping a deployment of their software. They are licensed by number of Full Time Employees.  Unlimited servers.  We will be using their complete suite (WebNetwork).  I will be doing a preso @OLUG later this year once we are up and running with some time under my belt to understand some of the underpinnings.  I had a test server setup and it was VERY slick!  Runs on Linux server, integrates with eDirectory as well as AD (Another Directory).
 
Using this with www.openthinclient.org to have an OS on the desktops will give me 95% functionality compared to day and allow the machines to last 7-10 years since processing happens outside the desktop.
 
Hoping to cut our expenditure for Microsoft on this whole project.  OS and Office...lost my first 2 battles on this but the war is NOT over.  This fight will either cost me my job or will save the company many 100's of thousands of dollars.  We will see, saga continues.....  8)

Care to share your findings?  I haven't heard of StoneWare -- is this
them: http://www.stone-ware.com.

Are they GPL, or do I need to purchase the server and/or client?

What functionality did they provide over NoMachine?

Are you using their "Private Cloud" offering, or just the remote console pieces?
