[clug] Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) for Linux Desktops

[George at Clug]

     Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) is virtualization technology
that hosts a desktop operating system on a centralized server in a
data center. VDI is a variation on the client-server computing model,
sometimes referred to as server-based computing.

Does anyone have experience with VDI for Linux KVM Guest Desktops and
can recommend a working FOSS solution capable for watch Video
(preferably in HD) ?

>From my searching today, there is no real working solution as yet.

Potential solutions;

1) Spice - includes video and audio but suffers from screen tearing
and lag

2) VNC - does not support audio

3) XRDP - I was not able to get audio to work, but it might be
possible?

4) KVM-VDI - I do not know much of this product.
