TS License question... Client with Linux and Win2k dual boot.

We have 30 PC's that dual boot either Win2k or Linux. We purchased
Win2k for each client. We also have 20 solaris boxes. When we setup
our Terminal server, we purchased and installed 20 CALs for the
solaris boxes, but did not purchase any additional CALS for the other
30 clients because Win2k comes with a TS CAL. We were under the
impression that because we purchase Win2k for a client that the CAL
was good for that client regardless of which operating system it was
running. Am I correct in this thinking? If so, how do I tell the
Terminal Server Licensing that I have a Win2k license (that comes with
a TS CAL)?

Thanks for any help in clearing this up for me.

You must be running Windows 2000. If you are running Linux the TS has no way
to know that and a license must be available.
I have no idea which Linux client you are using but some allow you to show
up to the TS as a Windows 2000 Pro box.

Can you give me more information on which Linux clients will show up
as win2k box on TS?

I appreciate the response, I kinda figured that would be the case.

I think Claudio was referring to the rdesktop.org client.
