To expand on this, Citrix Metaframe runs on a windows 2000 Application Terminal Server. This adds a lot of manageability and the ICA protocol. You can access applications in "seemless" mode with the modern unix clients. While it is extremely cool and works very well it's not a solution for a single user but more for a department or enterprise level. This is mostly due to cost. Something like 2000+ dollars for the product, 300+ dollars for each connection licence, and 85 bucks for every pre-windows2000 client. Given the potential benefits it is well worth the price if you can avoid having 2 pc's on each desk.
Disclamer: I am a CCEA and CCI working for a citrix implementer (http://www.vector.com) but it is a blast!!!
