linux X-serving MS applications
A picture in the last issue of the LJ drew my attention. On page 69 (in
the 'Linux means business' section) there is a screenshot of a
linux-based X Terminal, and among the other applications there is a Word
window, run on an NT server. In the article they briefly mention the use
of an 'NCD Wincenter Multiuser NT server' that runs various MS office
applications, served by the linux X Terminals.
This seems to be an ideal solutions for networked environments that wish
to work woth linux, and yet keep working with various MS based
applications.
Since I'm blissfully ignorant when it comes to MS-world, I have a few
questions:
1. What does it take to have Windows export it's display to an Xterm? Is
it a built-in capability in NT, or something added by a third party
solution? (What is 'NCD Wincenter Multiuser NT server', by the way?!).
2. Is that capability unique to NT, or is there a similar capability for
Win95?
3. Will it be possible to have the same capability for hebrew
applications?! What should be done in order for that to work?
I'll be grateful for any information.
