Using Raspberry Pi as a Supported Thin Client on Citrix with ThinLinX

Of course, we already have in mind that Citrix supports the use of a Raspberry Pi (30€) to use as a thin client; with HDX Ready and being able to optimize the multimedia layer and download its heavy graphics acceleration to the device. In this document we will see how ThinLinX works, an OS that simply transforms a Raspberry Pi into a manageable thinclient, whether for Citrix XenApp or XenDesktop, VMware View, Microsoft RDS…

Freezing your PC with Deep Freeze

Atypical document, but curious, The other day a client showed me how practical it is to freeze certain computers in the organization, thus forcing that every morning with the ignition they are totally new. It is very common to use it in universities, colleges, or as a fat-client, where if we need a Windows as a post, We will make sure that it is as good as the first day! I'm sure you can think of some equipment to put it on…

Using a Raspberry Pi as a Corporate Thin Client

Continuing a previous document on Rasberry Pi, I wanted to set up something simple but that would serve to show clients how easy and cheap it can be to have a corporate thin client in our company, A device that costs 25 US$ and consumes 5V. We will install the Citrix client so that when it boots it loads automatically and after validation any user can instantly access their applications from anywhere!

Raspberry Pi – Introduction

These days that we are testing different ThinClients a Raspberry Pi has passed through my hands, that is not a ThinClient, but obviously it can be used as it, I wanted to write this article to bring this device closer to all those who do not know it or have been lucky enough to be able to try it. The PRi (Model B) It's a small computer (700Mhz ARM CPU and 512Mb RAM) with 2 USB outputs, 1 RJ45, 1 HDMI, 1 RCA, GPIO connector, Space for 1 SD CARD and that we will feed with a MicroUSB at 5V. We can get a Raspberry Pi for about 30€. ¿Cheap? No! The following!

TCOS Project

TCOS is one of the best Open Source solutions that generates boot images for thinclient computers (based on Linux Debian/Ubuntu). Allows rDesktop connections (Terminal Server), FreeNX & X over SSH. In this document we will first see how to connect to the same Ubuntu where we will generate the images and in which we will have installed applications; later we will customize a client to use RDP,

Using ThinStation to Reuse Computers as a Thin Client

I've been working with this kind of wonder for a long time, It is an ideal for companies, Incredible savings of all kinds, The use of thin client philosophy in an organization. In this document we will see a free project that allows us to use any computer and convert it into a light computer or thinclient. There are other Linux distributions that are also based on this philosophy, And this seems to me to be the best, since it has a lot of packages that we can add to the posts and people who contribute.
