What's the best "Windows in a window" solution on the SuSE 9.1/2 platform? I have 98 and 2000 but have not yet tried to see what kind of mess this will create.

I really want to not have to deal with virsus' and junk so I would restore windows from an image after each user leaves the system.

have you tried
http://www.vmware.com/
or
http://www.ltsp.org/
or
multi drive reimage unit. one lab that i've seen used them.

Hmmm ... I´m not sure, I understood, what you really wanted

If you want a running Windooze in a Linux-Window, then vmware is the 1st choice!
You have your OS data in a single file, which you can recover (like mv backup-image vmimage) without stress.
If you only want to run single programs, you should use wine. It emulates a DOS/Wondooze OS.

If you have an NT4/W2k/2003-Server with Terminal Services runnin up, you can use "rdesktop" to connect to the desktop.

(http://www.rdesktop.org/, rdesktop is an open source client for Windows NT Terminal Server, capable of natively speaking its Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) in order to present the user's NT desktop. Unlike Citrix ICA, no server extensions are required.).

I think, it comes with Suse.

Thank you, I need to implement a solution that will allow the user to not know they are running a Linux box (if they don't see it booting up). This is something like citrix where users profile is perserved and can log in on any Linux/Win workstation in the environment. With window's degrading performance, windows os files will be considered tainted, by default, after each use/exposure to the internet.

vmware is a bit heavy on resources by the time the user application runs, but definitely the goods if you need to run several OS on the machine, and change them often.

If you are after a thin client, go that route directly. BTW, there is a new development which promises to give broadband capability to an ISDN client, it's a beta that is even faster than tightvnc.

If you need to run Win/Linux on the same machine now and then, run dual boot.
