> By Phil Hochmuth 
> 
> Enterprise users looking to deploy thin client
> technology with 
> Linux should be aware of a new product released last
> week 
> called WinConnect from Thin Computing. 
> 
> The software allows a Linux-based PC or terminal to
> connect to 
> a Microsoft Windows server. WinConnect software
> would be 
> installed on a Linux-based PC with a minimum of 16M
> bytes of 
> RAM, a 486 processor or higher, a network
> connection, X-Windows 
> and at 400K bytes of storage for the WinConnect
> software. The 
> software allows the Linux terminal to access
> applications and 
> files on servers running Windows NT 4 Terminal
> Server or a 
> Windows 2000 Server. 
> 
> Like any terminal/server setup, all applications and
> files 
> accessed by end users reside on the server.
> According to Thin 
> Computing, the software could be used to recycle
> older PC 
> hardware as Linux terminals, and allow access to
> applications 
> such as Microsoft Office on a central server. The
> company also 
> bills the product as a cheaper alternative to
> deploying Windows 
> CE or Citrix for larger enterprise terminal server
> projects. A 
> version of the software is also available to allow
> Linux-based 
> PDAs to access Windows server data. 
> 
> The idea is kind of the reverse of the open source
> program 
> Samba used to allow Windows-based clients to access
> files and 
> programs on Linux servers. However, unlike Samba,
> the software 
> is neither free, nor open source.
