Adding a Linux Server to a Desktop Pool

[ddiazp]

Hi All,

This has been asked before but the responses I've read are inconclusive.

Does anyone know some kind of view agent I can install on a linux server to add it to a VIew Desktop Pool? I'm aware View works with RDP (remote customers, no PCoIP for now); and I could enable rDesktop on linux servers to allow people to connect but is there a way to add a Linux VM to a Desktop Pool and have people connect to it?

This greatly interests my company and would love the capability of doing so.

Cheers,

D

Here is a link to the admin guide which list supported Operating Systems on page 19. No linux guest are currently supported for the agent. You can install the client on a linux system to assist in accessing a guest VDI.
