hi,

 

things consider regards licensing.

to use xp workstation need os license. (so thin client linux doesn't require local license, 1 of reasons linux versions cheaper)

to use windows server need os license.

 

now tricky part. need additional:

to connect terminal server need ts cals (per user or device).

to connect ts exchance need exchange cals.

to connect ts sql server need sql cals.

...

 

follow link microsoft ts licensing: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/techinfo/overview/termservlic.mspx

 

good luck,

yuri
