Last week I went to a "Startup Weekend" Event in Guadalajara, Jalisco,
(My county is Mexico) and I live in Mexico City. Usually I use Desktop
machines, in fact, I ONLY own one computer and it's a Desktop (F15 KDE 64 Bits BTW)
And it has never gave me problems before, I can pacefully work at home, at
work, at school with desktop computers as many things I use are on the cloud
and all the machines I use in my diary life have mostly the same setup (Software,
Configs and other things, such as Fedore as the primary O.S. and Windows VM's
inside Vbox).
BUT for this event I had to ask for a borrowed laptop as I don't have one. The thing is
I usually work in Fedora Linux and in Windows VM inside of Fedora Linux Because
of Dreamweaver CS5, that is my main web development production app, also I use
Windows VM's to check's IE compatibility, and some Corel and Ulead Programs.
As a Matter of fact, I CAN'T work in a PC where I only have Windows or where I only
have Linux, (or with dual-boot) I'm used to use both O.S. at the same time, complementing
one with the other, Linux as the MAIN O.S and Windows in a VM...
The laptop I got only had F14 ans it wasn't powerful enough to create a VM, Wine
won't run Dreamweaver CS5 or most of the windows tools I need to work correctly
and I felt "inproductive" in some way at the event.
MY QUESTION IS:
As maybe I can't run a VM in all the computers that I might have access to
and because Wine Can't Emulate some programs correctly, I Know the solution
is using the cloud to carry my apps with me, I was wondering if there is a Free Service
like XenApp:
(Better if it's opensource) to run my Windows apps from the server
in my Linux Machines or if I can mount a server with free/opensource
technologies that give me that option.
I don't intend for a enterprise enviroment, something personal
where I can virtualize at much 5 apps for my personal use
in the cloud...
is it possible? What should I use?
Thanks!
