VMware Horizon Client for Linux
Installation and Setup Guide
This document, VMware Horizon Client for Linux Installation and Setup Guide, provides information about
installing, configuring, and using VMware Horizon
®
Clientâ„¢ software on a Linux client system.
The information in this document includes system requirements and instructions for installing and using
Horizon Client for Linux.
This information is intended for administrators who need to set up a Horizon deployment that includes
Linux client systems. The information is written for experienced system administrators who are familiar
with virtual machine technology and datacenter operations.
Note This document pertains mostly to the Horizon Client for Linux that VMware makes available. In
addition, several VMware partners offer thin and zero client devices for Horizon deployments. The
features that are available for each thin or zero client device, and the operating systems supported, are
determined by the vendor, the model, and the configuration that an enterprise chooses to use. For
information about the vendors and models for these client devices, see the VMware Compatibility Guide,
available on the VMware Web site.
