TS Device CALs / TS User CALs

[Guest C. G.]

Hi,

 

I am just about to extend my heterogeneous office network by adding a

machine windows Server 2003 R2 as well as some new Linux machines (I

work largely in CAD/Simulation).

 

I would need to be able to run terminal server sessions on the Win 2003

machine from non Windows hardware, particularily thin clients running

embedded linux or linux machines running kde/gnome. Preferred access

method would be rdp.

 

I have heard of problems in such situations if I chose Device TS-CALs

instead of User CALs but Device CALs would be the more economical

solution for me.

 

Can anybody out there confirm or refute problems with RDP/TS Device

Cals/non-windows hardware/Windows 2003 server R2

 

Answers greatly appreciated.
