I heard about Citrix but i don't know it. I'll have to check that. So you basically install apps on the citrix servers and then people can connect via a terminal or stripped pc to one of those citrix servers to work?
Yep, they send key strokes and get display changes back. Server does the work. Low network load and low client load. The down side is that it likes big iron for servers. We have 5 quads and a pair of dual processor Xeon servers in the farm. They need lot of ram too, each user gets his own block of ram at logon.
