I think Linux is the way to go:
15.2 will be available on RedHat 3.0 AS (Don't bother with RH 7.3/8.0 or
9.0; these releases are outdated).
In view of a remote client installs on Windows based OS's, well I don't
see an issue really.
On a "server" (any P4 with 2GB RAM and 800MHz frontside bus will do) run
"setup.exe admin" to get the server isntall done.
starting with 15.1, this will create a CLIENT_SETUP directory in the final
installation. Any user can run the
setup.exe in that directory and get 15.x installed (in less than 2 min.)
If you plan to use Capture, you might run into some
minor or major problems. Cadence doesn't seem to apply resources to make
Capture work in a remote client environment.
(Same with PSpice)
my 2 cents

Steve,
You can't rlogin into a windows box.
You will need to look at a Citrix type solution for the engineers - a
server based solution for the PC world.
The option would be to look at a Linux platform - the power of PC
hardware - and the ease of use of a Unix - did I really just say that? -
of the command line/interface.
Mike

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] UNIX vs PC Workstation
I just joined the list, so this topic may have already been covered.
We are currently running on UNIX servers. They are going to replace them
soon. Cost wise between a UNIX server and a PC workstation it is pretty
much even. My supervisor wants to know if switching to the PC workstation
version would be beneficial. We only have 3 board designers. The
engineers rlog in to the servers to use Concept. We have 8-10 engineers
that use Concept though only a few at any given time.
Any thoughts or opinions.
Thank you.
