Desktop virtualization takes the headache out of desktop administration by increasing security, redundancy and scalability. With 2X ThinClientServer and VMware server you can run your desktops virtually on central servers, and use the client machines to connect to the virtual machines. Stream your company’s desktops and applications just like a video!

Benefits of Virtual Desktop computing with 2X ThinClientServer and VMware

Maintain and secure Windows desktops and builds and all connected hardware devices from one central location
Improve support by shadowing sessions and watching the user’s actions
Easy addition, recovery and replacement of virtual desktops
Centralize control by allowing you to remotely shutdown or restart all devices
Reduce costs by converting old PCs to thinclients with the latest XP or Vista
No Terminal Services CALs required – re-use existing Windows XP license.

What do I need to achieve this?

1. 2X ThinClientServer PXES edition – Cost: Free
2. VMware Server – Cost: Free
3. An OS, either Linux/Windows – Cost: Free (If re-using same license)

Download 2X ThinClientServer PXES edition.

Maak een backup van je Ubuntu systeem

Onderstaande is maar een stukje.

To start:

sudo su

and go to the root of your file system (we use this in our example, but you can go anywhere you want your backup to end up, including remote or removable drives.)

cd /

Now, below is the full command I would use to make a backup of my system:

tar -cvzf /backup.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/backup.tgz --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys /

Now, lets explain this a little bit:

‘tar’ is the program used to do a backup
c – create a new backup archive
v – verbose mode, tar will print what it’s doing to the screen
z – compress the backup file with ‘gzip’ to make it smaller
f <filename> – specifies where to store the backup, /backup.tgz is the file used in this example
Now come the directories we want to exclude. We don’t want to backup everything since some dirs aren’t very useful to include. Also make sure you don’t include the file itself, or else you’ll get weird results. You might also not want to include the /mnt folder if you have other partitions mounted there or you’ll end up backing those up too. Also make sure you don’t have anything mounted in /media (i.e. don’t have any cd’s or removable media mounted). Either that or exclude /media.
After all of the options is the directory we want to backup. Since we want to backup everything we use / for the root directory

If you want to exclude all other file systems you can use the –one-file-system option in addition to or instead of –exclude. With the –one-file-system option, only the “local” file system is backed up, that is, only the file system which you specify and not the file systems mounted under it in the file hierarchy. Use “df” to see which file systems you have mounted. The above command would thus be:

tar -cvzf /backup.tgz --one-file-system --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/backup.tgz /
