VNC as Terminal Services
 

Hi all,

I search a lot today to find a cheap way install a Linux Terminal. My case is that I have 25 people that browse internet in their break in a production manifacture but they often install Virus on their Win system. I want to remove Internet on the production floor but let people acces Internet from a VNC remote connection. The VNC should start a new session with firefox on linux. My problem is that I have to specifie the VNC port in the connection string. VNC client cannot just open a new free VNC session. I find NX server but, we have to pay for more than 2 connection. Is there a VNC manager (show port status so people see free one). I find also LTSP but I cannot spend money to buy other machine. Is there other possibibility?

There is a free version of NX - freenx-server is the package in Fedora, you should be able to find it in your distro

cheers

Might look at 2x.com stuff.

Good example of LTSP on suse. http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/1639.html

You could let them run firefox from the server too.

LTSP is the way to go, I think. They are a package vnc-ltsp-config that let VNC run multiple session on the same port for a fix resolution. My collegue find this guide (point 5): http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/VNC-Se...f60886edf611ec

This is what I need but when I connect with VNC, I have a blank background and after 2 min it closed by itself. Any tips?

Note: NX server is free for 2 client

This is the FreeNX I was referring to, no client limit:

I will try.

I find my error with LTSP, XDMCP was not enable in /etc/gdm/gdm.shemas
It's a bug in gmd fedora 10, there's not gui for this

thanks guy's
