Thinlinc: Terminal Server Environment

Contents

The 'thinlic' environment will replace the 'Sun Ray' terminals during 2013.
Advantages of Thinlinc against 'Sun Ray':
- Supports latest Linux OS natively.
  - This is the main reason for the migration.
- Much better grafic speed:
  - Smoother scrolling on websites.
  - Playing Videos.
- Much better USB Stick support.
- Accessing the same session locally (at the institute) and remotely (for example at home).
- IT Support will be possible by 'shadow'-ing the session with the IT group.
Disadvantage
- Power on takes longer.
- Sound problems after reconnecting the session. Start the application again (for webbrowsers: reload the webpage).
- At the moment 'Smart Card' support is not enabled.

Terminals at the institute

Install the native Client (Linux, Windows, Mac) - no Android or iOS Support.
- Download: http://www.cendio.com/downloads/clients/
Start the native client tlcient (it's a standalone application, it's not a browser version)
- Servername:
```
tl.math.uzh.ch
```
  - Be aware, the second character of the servername is a lowercase 'L'!
- username / Password: as your I-MATH Account.
