Been asked to find out if feasible to use a Linux variant to deliver Citrix apps @ work. So essentially does anyone know definitively of any suitable variants that have no licensing constraints for commercial use?

Deliver Citrix apps ?!?
As in Windows apps to thin clients ?
I must be not understanding the question ?
cheers guys, checking with Citrix must be a no brainer, we would just want a no frills install that would take the Citrix client, on thinking about it more maybe a config/backend that supported imaging would be worth considering too. We are essentially trying to use older PCs till they die then replace as many as poss with thin client devices, we are using HP 5135/5145 atm but tbh they are a bit flaky, dabbled with Altiris to push images etc but its a nightmare.
Why not use them as thin clients, run VM's on your server hardware and get your clients to use some sort of VNC type software to connect to them. Not a big fan of Citrix software to be honest, tends to be really unreliable in my experience
yeah exactly that, via Citrix client running on the linux OS, essentially to save on anti-virus/necessary infrastructure to support Msoft OS updates etc
OIC the clients, thought you meant the server end for some reason.
Lots of terminal devices run embedded Linux.
I'm pretty sure it's not possible to convert FAT to ext2. They are not compatible with each other so you would need to actually format the drive.Managed to get this up and running, pretty good, now I want to modify the partitioning............ anyways the thinstation config is such that the boot partition is FAT (syslinux), I want to change this partition to ext2, anyways I think what I am saying is how to create an ext2 partition and make it bootable?

I don't understand what you mean when you say bootable? What bootloader are you using? If you are using GRUB then ext2 and ext3 are both readable.
