In this community you can find a couple of threads where people are asking the development of a View Linux agent.
This agent would make the option of a linux desktop pool in View manager available.
I understand this is not as easy as it sounds, there are many linux distro's and technical difficulties to achieve this goal.
On top of that, if we ever get this agent, we will expect it to works as good as the Windows version, have PCOIP and USB redirection, ...
Therefor I would like to make a suggestion to VMware to develop a virtual appliance where one or two of the most used linux distro's are prepared by VMware. Limited support is acceptable if you tampered with the virtual appliance and broke the view addon. In my opinion Ubuntu LTS is a strong candidate to have such a virtual appliance.
I ask everyone who would like to see this suggestion developed to drop a line in this thread AND sign the petition.
"I second the request" would be enough to let VMware know how many of you are out there requesting this feature.
SPREAD THE WORD AND SIGN!!
