Hello Steve,
Thanks for the reply.
Yes! I am talking about the second one you, mentioned "HP" and "IGEL".
I have a doubt, if they are just using a protocol like RDP or ICA how
come vmware is certifying those thin clients for VDM 2.1 or VDM 2.0
Are they doing something else as well. I have not seen those clients
so wondering how to do this. If i install just rdesktop or ICA on my
local Linux host OS, does that mean my system is also VDM 2.1 or 2.0
compatible ?
Regards,
Puneet
