VMware View: Win7 client connecting to Linux VMware hosts

Is it possible using VMware View´s PCoIP to connect from Windows clients (physical)  to Linux VMware instances (virtual desktops) in an ESX-Infrastructure?

PCoIP

Location A with Windows client
Location B with Linux hosts in ESX infrastructure

Physical Win7 desktops

Red Hat VMware images

How can I best access the virtualized Linux desktops in a WAN?

RHEV?

No, only Windows Desktop OS is currently supported in VMware View.

Thanks a lot!  And what a pity! As a result Linux desktop are only left with RHEV or using Citrix as frontend connecting to Linux desktops?

Citrix does not support this either, not sure about RHEV. You could maybe try Ulteo or something similar.
