Newbie Question

Actually I need to run a citrix client...
Or could I setup a linux server as a "proxy" then use directvnc to that
server and run the citrix client from the server ?
This sounds like it could be hell though doing screen scrape after
screen scrape.

In the interest of being really fast, and saving some binary size to
boot, i just want to point out DirectVNC
