  • 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: on your request it's possible to 'shadow' your session to the IT group - in case of any trouble just call the IT by phone.
  • 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.

Usage

Connect & Disconnect Session
