Steve,

As the resident Unix guy - have you used the new NFS in Windows 2003 R2 to
work with Unix stations at all?  Any good or yawn?

I have used all previous versions of the UNIX product extensively, but have
not worked with the latest release. Up to that point, it was extremely well
developed and efficient. You can go either way in terms of running an X
Server on PS for Windows, however, the ICA protocol is much lighter and
faster. So I would generally recommend using PS for UNIX in that case. There
is no additional licensing cost which is a plus compared to adding an
additional emulator. 

The most popular X servers for Windows are Exceed and Reflections if you
decide to go that way. Both seem to work well on Terminal Services.

Subject: [THIN] PS4 on Unix experiences

Hi List,

A question of naivety really...

I'm interested to know how well developed Citrix on Unix is, and whether of
not the user experience would be better served by delivering  an X Windows
Emulator from PS4 running on Windows 2003 to access the application running
on an AIX server.

Also, can anyone recommend a good X Windows Emulator.

Cheers.
