RDS licenses for non-profit charities

@joel you using o365 for office? What are your thin clients? Are you deploying in he cloud.
I went through my own deployment a couple months back, happy to help. Not sure if your are doing rdsh or RDS. I'd highly recommend rdsh though.

@scottalanmiller wherever I got there are macs and windows machines.
Even linux client to Linux host sucks on the remote access side. I'm doing photoshop today in my Vultr rdsh session. Just because if I leave the has and have to go to my old office I can pick up where I left off.
Oh, you don't even have a laptop of your own, you are just borrowing other people's workstations?

I'm a little late to this conversation...
If they are a non-profit (501c3) then they can go through TechSoup and get great pricing.
If they are a not for profit, I do not think that they qualify for Tech Soup.
We use TechSoup for my primary job and have for many years.

@scottalanmiller my MacBook Pro went out last year and I haven't taken to Apple Store for repair. But moreover it was mostly docked at work anyway, where is spent most of my time. When I came home I only used my iPhone.
When I started with RDSH I just got hooked fast.

Interesting.

@scottalanmiller 3.5 years into my 3 year apple care, so it wasn't covered. Then I found a recall on the video card I had, and just havent went in.
I am really not a huge laptop person anyway, I like to be at a desk.

I agree. I like desks. I just prefer my own desk.

I agree, I much prefer to work from home.

Probably RDS lol. Linux really needs feature parity with RDSH.
Linux is getting there.. https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp
I use this over ZT to connect to my Linux Desktop at home. It supports multiple users, and all too. It does work better with Mate or Desktops that don't do compositing (like Cinnamon).

Oh nice, what RDP version is that supporting currently?

I'm not real sure. I know it can do some RemoteFX stuff, so at least v7, right?

Im pretty sure for connecting to windows hosts XRDP leveraged FreeRDP (which is the stalled project) and is limited to something in the RDP 5.x range.

XRDP goes the other way... Any RDP app connecting to a Linux box.
