Linux VMI

Linux machine images on Google Cloud require 3rd party software to support 3D accelerated remote desktop connections. Using Cendio’s ThinLinc is a confirmed and tested option, however many alternative options are also available.

1. Install the ThinLinc server on the virtual machine image.

2. Install the ThinLinc client on your local workstation.

3. Use the client to connect to the virtual machine using the VMI’s Public IP Address.
