Make your own View Thin Client in under 30 minutes

[mbletschin]

I get asked all the time how can we reuse our existing machiens for view without buying thin clients or spending more money on third party software. And oh by the way I don't want Windows to run underneath the client is I can help it. So I went ahead and created a way to repurpose an existing machine with a linux based OS, and the View Client and have it up and running in less than 30 minutes. It works great when I am demoing to a customer as well, since i can do this during a meeting and they have a client before I leave.

Check it out, I would love to see some feedback or suggestions..[Make your own Thin Client|http://bit.ly/ci65IJ]

you may just want to convert the thread into a document instead of a discussion.

Thanks, I was hoping to get some feedback first in case I decided to change anything before I converted it to a document.

I wrote a similar guide for creating the client out of a windows 7 install.
