Raspberry Pi and Citrix

Out of curiosity I have tried doing the Raspberry Pi and Citrix. There are a lot of guide out there on how to achieve this.

Just to start, you need to use Debian Wheezy.

Below is the network diagram of my Lab. By the way, I have used Citrix Xen App 6.5 for this.

Tried to connect it to a test Citrix Web Interface which I was working on for the past couple of days.

As far as I have tried it, the entire experience is kinda slow for an average user. Still looking into how to adjust the performance for this to a more acceptable speed.

Enjoy~
