Hello. I've done a lot of searching and reading about Linux but still have a couple questions regarding Linux compatibility with Citrix (ica.client). Apologies if this has been asked elsewhere but I couldn't find the answer.
I'm using a Dell PC that has Windows XP on it. While considering upgrading to Windows 7 I performed the compatibility test, which told me it was not compatible due to my PC's 256MB ATI Radeon Driver x600, and "virtualization technology not supported".
I'm wondering if those issues would prevent me from being able to use Linux.
Also, I'm waiting for Mint 17 to be released towards the end of May before installing Linux, but wondering if there's any reason it would be incompatible with Citrix, since Citrix is slow to upgrade. For example, as they were with Internet Explorer upgrades. (I realize Mint is an OS not a browser, just giving an example.)
My main use for the PC is using it to get on Citrix for work, and as a backup to my laptop for all other uses. Just from everything I've read I'm thinking Mint would be as good as any of the Linux 'flavors', but if I'm wrong I'd appreciate advice.
Looking forward to installing Linux, and patiently waiting for the release of Mint 17.
Thanks in advance. BTW, I'm not tech savvy but do follow directions fairly well, so I'm thinking I'll be able to make the install as long as there aren't any serious issues that go way above my head.
