OK, I've maxed the RAM on Linux server that will be running two |
39 |
VM-Windows7 with 32GB of RAM and it has SSD so it should handle the load |
40 |
(8-core AMD). |
41 |
One VM-Windows7 run a program as a server the other VM-Windows7 acts as |
42 |
a client, run by another user. Another user will log to the his account |
43 |
on a sever via X2GO and start VM-Windows7 (run the same program but in a |
44 |
client mode). |
45 |
|
46 |
I've NX as well, but they have closed the source. X2GO was easier to |
47 |
install as well. |

The rdp might work. It would be best if I could by-pass the switch, |
50 |
since both VM's are running on the same Linux server. |
