Citrix Options For The Zaurus Options

[guanxi]

I spent a good amount of time researching options for connecting a Zaurus to a Citrix MetaFrame server. I never found a good solution, but for future researchers I consolidated what I learned here:

Some of the information may apply to using Microsoft Windows Terminal Services, the RDP protocol and of course the ICA protocol.


The lack of a proven solution was a real dissapointment: A handheld with a good keyboard and a landscape 640x480 screen would make an incredible mobile Citrix client.

As far as the old ARM client goes I think it's X based and since PDAXROM have gone VFP then I don't imagine the binary will be compatible (different ABI on the math libraries etc. even if FPE is built into the PDAXROM kernel).

Possibly the only viable target for the old ARM client from Citrix is PocketWorkstation and since the installer calls cpio then this is probably the only distribution that you could do a standard installation on. Haven't tried it though. Unpacked the installer and gave up in disgust. May try it later.

iamasmith - thanks! I added your comments to the FAQ, if that's ok.
