Tim,
 
Thank you for the reply.  Basically, we have one app that the support
say they don't want on Citrix, even though they say it will work.  So, I
wanted to run that one app on the thin client.  I would essentially have
an ICA session running and minimize that to use the local app.

Not sure what you are trying to accomplish here...  
 
The Flash memory acts like a disk, not RAM.  So the app will work (with
very rare exceptions), not unlike using a remote share via a VPN.  I
routinely run installers and test programs from a flash device all the
time.  If your goal, however is to conserve the limited RAM of the
server it does not help.  The program still loads into ram.

 I have one application that our data center is crying about using
Citrix with.  I know it will work because the software vendor has a
white paper on configuring it with Citrix.  I was thinking about running
the app on Flash Memory.  It needs about 230 to run, so I figured I'd be
safe with 512.  Anyone have any experience (Good or Bad) running apps
from Flash?
