WML Sumo Thin Client User Guide
Introduction to Su o Thin Client
The Sumo Thin Client is a revolutionary Linux based thin client that allows easy windows style
setu . Sumo su orts NoMachine NX, Citrix ICA client version 9, RDP5 connections, SSH
(o enssh), VNC (tightVNC) and X server (unix XDMCP).
The Sumo rovides web browsing ca abilities with Mozilla Firefox 1.5. Numerous embedded
a lications are rovided for system admins and ower users (sc , sft , nano, vi and dillo).
A unique feature of the Sumo is that rograms normally associated with Windows based latforms
can be embedded. The inclusion of the Mono runtime environment makes this ossible. Mono is an
im lementation of the .NET 1.1 framework. The Sumo rovides Mono with Winforms and GTK#.
These .NET a lications can reside on a local webserver and the latest version of the a lication
will be dynamically loaded on ower u to every Sumo box on the network. This feature will allow
you to centrally manage the software a lication and reduce the su ort required to maintain
standard user deskto s.
