Thank you for the offer.  It will probably be close to a month before I
am ready to download and install Tarantella. 
What I could currently use are some good guides to GPO's and active
Directory.  Currently we are still running everything on NT4.  I have
used Policy editor some, but not to a great extent.  We don't offer
customers Desktops, and the primary app we provide doesn't allow access
to the local drives in any way so we havent had to worry much about
locking down servers.

If you need help on New Moon and/or assistance planning/deploying just
contact me off list. We have been working with it since version 1.0.

Well considering we currently peak at 350 concurrent users it is
definitely a better price than Metaframe XPa.
As soon as I get the test network setup I will most likely download and
see how it does.   
We are trying to decide between straight Terminal services and something
like citrix or tarantella.   We would like more inexpensive option than
citrix. Currently our plan is to have a second datacenter and new
customers would go to tarantella and slowly migrate existing ones.  (We
currently have well over 1500 VERY widely scattered Devices connecting
to our farm).

I certainly like the way they are marketing it.  Basically free, all you
pay for is a per user 2 year maintenance fee of $59.95.   Meaning you
could get 100 users going for under $6000.  How much would it cost you
to do the same with Citrix? It makes it very appealing for a small
corporation with  a tight budget.

Nice product. You can get a fully functional demo directly off their
website.

I was referring to the Canaveral IQ.  The new one. We are looking at
implementing it on Server 2003.

I used it many times (If you mean Canaveral IQ that was New Moon's
product) and I do like it. In some aspects Citrix is trying to catch up
to them. 
If you mean the old Tarantella product, Unix based, I also used and
still think it is useless.

Is Tarantella a Good alternative to Citrix?  Or are there any major
offsetting disadvantages to it? 


670,616,629 mph.  Its not just a good idea, its the law.
