Supported Citrix MetaFrame Software
Citrix MetaFrame software enables Solaris clients to display and use SunPCi III 3.2.1
software running the Windows 2000 Server operating system on a remote host.
Citrix server software must be installed on an emulated drive that contains Windows
2000 Server operating system software and that is attached to a SunPCi III card.
When the server is configured to use Virtual Network Computing (VNC), you can
boot SunPCi III software as part of server startup, eliminating the need to
specifically start the SunPCi III software before clients can use it.
