Does anyone know if VMWare are thinking of have release a VI Client for a Linux OS - I'm really trying to get away from using a Windows on my laptop and it would be great if I could use the VI Client on my OpenSUSE build....

As Virtual Center also has to be a windows server it's possible either to rdp to the VC Server and run from the remote session. Another option is to use SeamlessRDP so it will appear as if it is running locally.

You can set the RDP connection settings in Terminal Services Configuration on the server to end disconnected sessions after a certain time period.
