WML Linux Thin Client User Guide
Introduction to WML Linux Thin Client
The WML Linux Thin Client is a revolutionary Linux based thin client that allows easy windows
style setup. The WML Linux Thin Client supports NoMachine NX, GraphOn GoGlobal or
Windows, Citrix ICA client version 9, RDP5 connections, SSH (openssh), VNC (tightVNC) and X
server (unix XDMCP).
The WML Linux Thin Client provides web browsing capabilities with Mozilla Fire ox 1.5. Numerous
embedded applications are provided or system admins and power users (scp, s tp, nano and vi).
Based on the Sumo Technologies ST166 and ST168 hardware plat orms, the WML Linux Thin Client
will provide years o trouble ree service.
A unique eature o the WML Linux Thin Client is that programs normally associated with Windows
based plat orms can be embedded. The inclusion o the Mono runtime environment makes this
possible. Mono is an implementation o the .NET 1.1 ramework. The WML Linux Thin Client
provides Mono with Win orms and GTK#. These .NET applications can reside on a local webserver
and the latest version o the application will be dynamically loaded on power up to every WML Linux
Thin Client box on the network. This eature will allow you to centrally manage the so tware
application and reduce the support required to maintain standard user desktops.
