The only available (yet) client is for Windows.

You can try to use Wine but there are a lot of problem with .NET Framework.

Also with ThinApp + Wine there are a lot of problems.

Hello and welcome to the forums.

There is currently no client for Linux systems, although one is (has been) in the works for quite a while now.

Good Luck!

if you have a Linux environment, a good alternative is to host VI client as a "virtualized" app in a Terminal Server (take a look at: http://www.2x.com/applicationserver/)

Hello,

Is this answer still correct? 10 years later and still no client for Linux?

Do you have any plans for a Linux client?
