Looking for something like Citrix for *nix

Hi,

I don't mean the client.... I mean the server - I have the client to connect to a windows citrix server already.

The next best thing I can use at present is VNC (I only want remote desktop, not application sharing specifically). The thing with VNC is that when you go on you are physically controlling the X desktop of whoever is logged on at the time. What I'm looking for is something that give me remote desktop but several users can log on at once and all have their own desktop served to them.

Does it exist? If it does, what do I google for?

Cheers Smilie

That depends onhow you configure vnc, using Xvnc configured as a service, you can serve individual X desktops to users.

Genius!! I didn't know that. I'm about to google so I dunno why I'm asking but.... does that mean I can be logged on to KDE locally and another user can remote in and log on as themselves and be served with their own (KDE or whatever) X desktop without affecting my work?

Thanks for the keywords I need Smilie
