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.
- Supports latest Linux OS natively.
- 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.
