There are several ways to run the ThinLinc client, and also some ways to access ThinLinc servers without running the client.
In this chapter we will document how to install, configure and run the ThinLinc client on all different platforms including dedicated thin terminals. We will also describe how to install and use the ThinLinc Client Operating System (TLCOS), an operating system shipped with ThinLinc, used to convert old hardware into thin terminals.
Last, we will describe how to access ThinLinc servers using X11 terminals or SunRay terminals.
The supported Windows versions are 2000, XP, XP Embedded, 2003, Vista and 2008. Windows CE is currently not supported.
To install the client on a Windows machine, put the client-CD in the CD-drive and enter the client-windows directory on the CD. Then click on the file tl-2.1.0-client-windows.exe and follow the instructions.
