I would like to set up wine for a terminal server machine. I.e. there are several users logged on this machine and running applications at the same time. Most of them are even running the same applications (MS Word and a custom windows software that hosts IE6 and several ActiveX controls). AFAIK I have to install IE6 and Word for every user. If there's an update to one of the used components I have to install this update for every user again. That's a bunch of tedious and cost intensive work. So I'd like to install software only once for all users (like I can do on a windows terminal server). Is there a way?

If I'm not mistaken CrossOver Office Server Edition[1] provides such functionality [1] http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxserver/ Markus Winhard wrote:> I would like to set up wine for a terminal server machine.

I didn't try it yet, but might very soon ... HTH, Emmanuel Charpentier
