  1. Re:Windows applications too? on Sun's Global Desktop Released · · Score: 1

    Yes, you can publish individual applications in a rootless/seamless windows mode. There are some other enhancements to RDP too.

    Actually, SGD translates native display protocols like RDP, X11, ICA etc. into AIP, so it's not just dumb proxying.

  3. Re:Who copied who? on Sun's Global Desktop Released · · Score: 1

    That's not really true. Both NX and SGD translate RDP into a protocol their clients support. In the NX case, it eventually gets converted into X11. And Tarantella was around way before RDP: It came out of Cambridge, England around the same time that VNC did.

  6. Re:Fastest on Which VNC Software Is Best? · · Score: 1

    Actually, Tarantella is the old Santa Cruz Operation. The Unix business was dying, so they sold it off to Caldera (who subsequently renamed themselves as The SCO Group). None of the old SCO execs are still around at Tarantella though.

    Tarantella's been around for years doing remote/ low bandwith X11 and is worth checking out too.

    There's a list on the SlimDevices website, and there's also an alternative (GPL'd) audio server

  9. Re:That's not really fair. on Getting Over the Stigma of a Previous Job? · · Score: 1

    Well, speaking as someone who still works for Tarantella (and there aren't a lot of us left, but I digress), I can admit that we've talked about the impact of putting SCO on our resumes. Since Caldera can only call themselves 'The SCO Group' I've decided to use the old "Santa Cruz Operation" tag myself and hope that it doesn't attract the wrong sort of attention.

  10. Re:Anyone also note that on More on SCO vs. IBM Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    The project was called Monteray. Tarantella was completely different, and was all that the old SCO had left after jetisoning the Unix and Professional Services bits of the business to Caldera. Hence the company name change to Tarantella.

    The dairy industry seeks non-dairy product regulation and distinctive markings so that consumers will not be "duped" by "inferior" products.

    Err... you mean like EU Council regulation 1898/87,OJ L182 of 3.7.87 ?

    In the UK, "Soy Milk" now has to be legally labelled as "Soya non-dairy alternative to milk".

    Those damned vegans are just terrorists, I tell ya!
