I must admit to be rather (or thoroughly) inexperienced in enterprise deployment of X Windows, but could someone discuss how well X can be locked down.
We use Citrix and NT where I work for getting high performance database software out into our manufacturing facility without deploying high-end workstations. However, one of the key concerns is the ability to lock down those remote workstations so that there is little to no administrative overhead or problems with inexperienced users messing things up.
Could we do that just as easily with X on the clients? If so, it would be a lot cheaper probably. It would be almost transparent to the user, I expect, and would save us from having to pay the obscene Citrix and NT licensing fees.
