Tarantella joins remote access giveaway
(February 16, 2005) "Tarantella, Inc. today announced the availability of a free single-user license for the Linux industry’s leading secure application access software, Secure Global Desktop™ Enterprise Edition 4. The free license is fully functional and is available for immediate download at http://www.tarantella.com/singleuser. There is no purchase required, the license has no expiration date and is subject to the terms outlined in the end-user license agreement."
Their site has a PDF describing the acrobatics required to get Tarantella up and running. I'm not sure why a single user (where access control is not too relevant) would prefer this to simply port forwarding x/vnc/freenx to *nix or using logmein et al on win32, but choice is good.
I found this because Tarantella came up in a conference call yesterday. I guess they OEM a remote access solution that costs $60/user/2 years. Functionality-wise it sits between Citrix and Terminal Services, but is cross-platform. I can't help thinking I can do better, but the scenario I'm considering is multiuser windows and the secure, end-user- and firewall- friendly alternatives are few and pricey.
