I usually have Mozilla running with a dozen or so tabs open, Mozilla Mail, Citrix, Lotus Organizer, and probably a handful of other things and I rotate between them fairly regularly. I do try to keep some of the constantly-polling DOS apps shut down until I need them (Lotus 1-2-3 2.4, is an example), and I've taken to running most of the Win16 apps under W2K in the Citrix session. This saves me CPU cycles as well as RAM resources. Citrix sounds like a much better virtualizer than either VPC or SVISTA. I only use VPC, and only when I must. However, the apps that I attempt to run under VPC are mostly hogs such as Acrobat that don't show it at its best. This is true. The nice thing about Citrix is that it runs on a completely different machine, and so no matter the load on the other box, the only real stress on the client is the single Citrix app (there are times, however, when the overhead of caching images from the session can be rather intensive; I tend to shy away from running too many streaming media apps in Citrix for this very reason). Also, some apps simply do not like to run (or install, as is usually the case) in a terminal session. -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------ Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia www.2rosenthals.com eComStation Consultants www.ecomstation.com Novell Users International www.novell.com/linux/truth Warpstock 2005 - Hershey, Pennsylvania, October 6-9, 2005 www.warpstock.org ------------------------------------------------------------ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to steward@2rosenthals.com with the command "unsubscribe os2-wireless_users" in the body (omit the quotes).
