[THIN] Re: Linux and Vmware how to ?

Hi Puneet,

What type of compatibility are you asking about? Are you asking about taking
a LINUX physical machine and moving it to VMWare to run as a guest OS
(virtual machine)?

The HP and IGEL thin clients run LINUX on the client as the local OS user a
remote desktop protocol to connect to a virtual machine running on VMWare
and display it on the client.....

Subject: [THIN] Linux and Vmware how to ?

Hi,

I want to make my Linux machines as vmware compatible. I have been
told that there is no vmware support on Linux but after reading some
threads and some websites I came to know that it is supported. My
concern is that ,there are some companies offering Linux machines with
vmware certification. IGEL and HP are being the primary one.

,9.html

how are they doing it ? infact they do have vmware certification. are
they using connection brokers or something else ?

also I came to know that there is a firefox plugin available. Where i
can get that ?

eCategory=vdm&productId=2&keyBasic=IGEL&maxDisplayRows=50&key=wyse&release%5
B%5D=-1&datePosted=-1

the above link suggests that IGEL and HP has Linux thin clients
(debian or other flavor) which are compatible with VDM 2.1

Can you tell me what all I need to do to make my Linux as fully
supported for vmware.

I am using firefox 3 on my system. Considering I am new to vmware
solutions, any suggestions or hints are welcome.

Looking forward to hear from you asap.

Thanks and Regards,

Puneet
