[lazarus] Delphi/TSE, Lazarus/X

[Baeseman, Cliff]

If you are interested in remote access to linux apps take a look at a group
of software called vnc or virtual network computer. You can basically run
this client any machine and a little server deamon gets loaded on the linux
machine. You can then run x sessions from anywhere on any system just as
terminal server does.

The only difference here is that it is free and works better than terminal
server.
Did i also mention that you get the code. This product was also originally
developed by oracle and att.

We use it a awful lot here and I think Shane will highly recommend it also.
It can be setup and running in about 15 min.

Hi

As a very interested lurker, I would like to congratulate the Lazarus Team -
well done, can't wait for version 1.

I am currently designing an application under Delphi, which will probably
use NT Terminal Server to run remote sites over a WAN. The Delphi app
accesses an Interbase Server on Linux.

I am hoping to use Lazarus to port my app to Linux, and use X windows for
the remote sessions. I would also use PostGreSQL as the SQL server. Being
new to Linux, I am not sure if this is possible. Does the GTK / Lazarus have
the remote x functionality, and do remote X sessions perform close to their
Terminal Server counterparts ?

I realise that this is a difficult question to answer, and possibly
pre-mature - but I would prefer not to pass on too much more money to Bill
Gates.

Any comments in this regard would be welcome

Cheers
Chris
