Basically what I am trying to do is replace some of my windows desktops
with linux boxes, however our companies ERP package is Oracle Forms and the
version of the forms runtime we are running doesn't exist for linux (as far
as I can find). If I was able to send the display back from a Windows
'Terminal Server' then I could get around this, it would need to support
about 120 clients. However, I'm trying to do this without paying microsoft
any more money than needed. I'm running Sun PCnetlink on Solaris to avoid
paying licensing on a NT/2000 box. It doesn't look like it's going to happen
though....
