Cool thanks.
I'm taking a pretty basic Linux Security course right now. But after
playing (stumbling) around with Linux without formal training and some
Unix courses many years ago I'm really excited about the prospects.

We used to use RedHat 6.0 or 7.2 I seem to recall (so a little while
ago) on
around 60 machines with what was the latest ICA client to (MF 1.8 and
then
XPe on 2k servers) at the time on some real old Dell machines and it
worked
a treat; actually got better results display wise than using the DOS
client
and someone even played with audio mapping with good results. The only
issue we had was the client would try to do seamless sometimes or
ALT-TAB
would stop occasionally but otherwise it worked fantastically well.
Would
definitely recommend over a DOS solution if you can hack your way around
linux even a little :-)
HTH

Ps. We did something similar to the .bash solution below to make ours
work,
stripped out any desktop manager (such as Gnome or KDE) and away it
goes.

Is anyone successfully using Red Hat desktops and the linux ICA client
to connect to MF running on Windows 2000 Server (published desktop)? We
have DOS clients now,but need more functionality such as scroll mice and
possibly wireless. Thanks,Joane
I see an excellent opportunity to sneak Linux into my workplace.

You are changing the wrong file, .bashrc is intended to set up your
shell environment not your graphical sessions.
You didn't specify what desktop environment you are using, so I will
assume that it is GNOME and you re logged in (if this is not the case
just let me know).
Go to:
1) RedHat main menu (redhat logo) -> Preferences -> More Preferences ->
Sessions
2) Sessions -> Startup Programs -> Add -> /usr/lib/ICAClient/wfcmgr
-icaroot /usr/lib/ICAClient -> Close
3) RedHat main menu (redhat logo) -> Log Out -> Save current setup ->
Log out -> OK
if everything went well you will see wfcmgr window in you next login.
If you are only running RedHat to run the Citrix ICA client you can test
PXES Universal Linux Thin Client (http://pxes.sf.net).
You can see a running session of PXES here:
