[TriLUG] Windows NT to 2000 or Linux?

[Rick Gatewood]

I am a network administrator at a local goverment agency that has a single NT 
Domain with 250 w95 and w98 clients. all but a few clients and all the 
servers are three years old. We have been considering upgrading to 2000 but 
are finding the cost of upgrading all software and hardware plus continuing 
license fees to be scary. Microsoft is asking all current users to upgrade 
within the next six months or lose upgrade priveleges forever. As an 
alternative, we have been considering going all linux or using linux with 
existing NT licenses. One sticking point is that our main database vendor 
(specialized billing program) only wants to support their product on NT or 
2000 terminal server. I know that there is a citrix client out there for 
linux and thought that it might be a solution. Anybody have any experience 
with the Citrix Linux client and WTS setups? Any other ideas for using linux 
in this situation?

Thanks
