57.3 Citrix: MS/Windows Under Linux
Citrix provides remote access to MS/Windows within GNU/Linux, using the Windows Terminal Server (WTS). This is commercial software, although the clients (for a variety of platforms, including GNU/Linux and Java) are available for download.
57.3.2 Citrix Installation
Citrix provides both a standard client and a Java based client that can run as an application or as an applet (although the Java application is only available as version 6, with version 7 only providing an applet). The clients can be downloaded from the Citrix web site, after agreeing to their licensing conditions.
