This software enables Linux users to connect remotely to Windows desktops. The application is designed to facilitate smooth connectivity and access to Windows desktops directly from the Linux desktop interface, ensuring convenience and enhanced user experience.
If you're looking for a way to connect to remote Windows desktops from your Linux desktop, VMware View Open Client might be just what you need. Managed by VMware View, this software is optimized for use with thin client devices, and has been tested with SUSE Linux Enterprise Thin Client and Debian 4.0r3. Suitable for non-x86 platforms, it's the best option if you're interested in developing clients for operating systems other than Windows XP/e or Linux.
It's important to note that commercial support is not available from VMware, Inc. for the VMware View Open Client. Only end users and customers who use VMware Ready Certified Thin Clients will receive commercial support for their deployments.
For those thin client partners who want to certify Windows XP/e or Linux x86 based thin clients, it is recommended to continue using the commercially available VMware View Client for Windows or Linux. If, however, you are using a thin client device that includes a VMware View Client built upon the VMware View Open Client, it must be certified under the VMware Thin Client certification program to receive VMware commercial support under your applicable support contract.
This release of VMware View Open Client can be used with VMware Virtual Desktop Manager (VDM) 2.0, 2.1, and VMware View Manager 3.0. To run the software, your system must have an i586 compatible processor, two megabytes of secondary storage, and 128 megabytes of RAM. As with most software, it is recommended to read the end user documentation and the administrator's guide, both of which are available in the installation package, for more information about the client's features and capabilities.
VMware View Open Client is distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1, making it a great choice for those looking for an open source software solution for connecting to remote Windows desktops from their Linux desktop.
