I am confused about what this product is. Is this a think client that connects to a server and allows virtual desktops..... or is it something else?

It is a thin client that hooks to a computer that can act as a server. In turn that computer can connect to a larger server.

It is a thin client that connects to a server or workstation running NComputing VSpace server software. When connected, the client gives the user virtual desktop session just like running an actual pc. Currently supports linux and windows versions up to Windows 7 or up to Windows server 2008 r2.

I have never actually used it. Waiting to get a monitor for the desktop (previous monitor disappeared when moving).

Thanks, that is what I thought but I was not sure. My son knows a lot about computers but if I asked him he will know..... I really appreciate your help.

This is for Remote Desktop licenses. If you have users that need to remote into the server to do their work then you will need one license per user. If you only have 2 users then that is already included. This license is installed on the server and will be tracked by the server. If you have 5 users that need to use the server at one time then you will need to buy 1 pack of 5 licenses. If you have 10 people that will use the server but only 5 people will need to use the server at any given time then you will most likely want to use the "Per User" not the "Per Seat" option. If you use the "Per Seat" then you would have to buy 2 packs of 5 licenses to allow the 10 users to remote in. I would not confuse this license with the "Per Device" license required to allow other computers to network to this server. If that is what you want then this is the wrong product. Another thing to be aware is this will work on other servers that are not HP.

I have mine setup with Oracle VM Virtualbox, on Debian. At the moment I only have one virtual machine, but I can run the Debian desktop easily with the VM running. I will add another VM, but I think you have to be realistic with the amount of memory available and a single processor.

Should work, but mine is being integrated into a thin client by my developers. So I can't say from first hand experience.

I am pretty sure they make this model for desktops as well. It is basically a plug and play for laptops, but I don't know if connections are the same. Sorry I can't be more help.

I used it under Linux. It did what I wanted. Looks cool on my desk. People often say, "Her what kind of trouble can you get into with that?" You might have to load the Linux module from the command line

Very real. I run VirtualBox on this laptop with no trouble! Of course, virtual machines can not use more than about 900MB of RAM on this machine (I use 256MB with a FreeBSD virtual machine, but 900MB is good enough for OpenSuSE or Debian/Ubuntu using XFCE. Never tried GNOME, KDE, etc...)

I'm not sure as my client installed this and I have yet to see how it works.

I'm also looking for this upgrade but I have a feeling we've been given bad information. I don't see anywhere on the VMware website about a free upgrade for recently purchased product. Only a paid upgrade. Chris L, where is it that you are entering your serial number online?

It appears to me as a hack of ubuntu lxde. The the bad side: the menus are not complete or correct, chromium performs poorly, if does not appear to play video, and it is a derivation rather than a release from ubuntu. On the good side: I was able to install and run scilab and spyder. My bitscope and it's software works ok with it. It ha a SATA port so I figure I will load ubuntu or fedora on it and use it as a data logger.

All this does is put 2 monitors where there was one. The PC does not know that 2 monitors are attached. So you can't 'extend' your desktop from one to another, you just show the same thing on both.

Yes, it works as a regular desktop. I use it for my college work and everyday web searching. It's just built towards playing pc games, that's the big difference this computer has than your average run of the mill computer.

If you're asking this question, you're *very* likely looking at wrong configuration. I suggest you shop for a desktop PC, not server, as there may be many other things surprising to you. Going back to the original question - no, it's not hard.

I'm not sure. When I used this product it was with a desktop computer. Sorry about that.

I do. I've got two that I run VMware ESXi on to deploy virtual machines for both testing and production. It's a solid little box to run a hypervisor and you can cram 16gb of RAM in there, so there's plenty of room to play with. If you want to do purely development, you could easily run something like Docker and Vagrant to deploy small VMs for isolated development environments. Seriously, it's just a computer. This one just happens to be absurdly tiny and cute, but it's capable of lifting some serious weight when you need it to.
