    <p><strong><em>Background:</em></strong> I'm running a full-time job and a part-time job in the weekends, and both my employers have supplied a laptop for me to work on. Of course I also have my powerful workstation at home to work from, and sometimes when I'm at the office at my weekend job (it's in another city) I'm working from yet another workstation.</p> <p><strong><em>Problem:</em></strong> That makes a full 4 PC's I'm maintaining (software versions, licences and settings) just to do my work, and believe me, my list of prefered software is way too big.</p> <p>I want to setup a Virtual Desktop on my VMware server, so I can work from the same installation and same session no matter which PC I'm working from.</p> <p>Now I don't have the time and money to go through a full test of each setup, so I'd like to hear your experiences on the subject.</p> <p><strong><em>Question:</em></strong> Should I use a VMware virtual workstation with some remote logon software (like <a href="http://www.realvnc.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">realVNC</a>, <a href="http://www.teamviewer.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">teamviewer</a>, <a href="https://secure.logmein.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">logmein</a>, whatever...) or should I invest in a full VDI system like <a href="http://www.sun.com/software/vdi/index.jsp" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Sun</a> or <a href="http://www.vmware.com/products/vdi/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">VMware</a> provide?</p> <p><strong><em>Edit:</em></strong> I'm programming in Adobe Dreamweaver on Windows XP - but I run my servers on Debian and sometimes do quick edits in VIM too. First I intend to virtualize a WinXP with base installation, to see how it runs.</p>
