-====== Virtual Desktops ======
+======= Remote Desktop Linux =======
+Techstaff has a new **Virtual Desktop** service called //vDesk// ((report problems to techstaff@cs.uchicago.edu)). vDesk is currently designed to assist with CS remote study, and especially visitors to CSIL. With vDesk, you can work with a remote Linux GUI through either your browser or a [[https://www.nomachine.com/product&p=NoMachine%20Enterprise%20Client| downloadable application]] (__recommended__).
-===== Thick Client =====
+Note: There are currently NO GPU systems available on the vDesk infrastructure. ((Not to be confused with [[ https://howto.cs.uchicago.edu/start| Virtual Help Desk Service]]))
-==== Download ====
+===== Two Ways to Connect =====
+The application is a better option than the browser client.
+===== Application Download (optional) =====
+First, Download and install [[https://www.nomachine.com/product&p=NoMachine%20Enterprise%20Client|NoMachine Enterprise Client]], then read our [[  techstaff:vdesk:client | Client Connection Guide. ]]
 ===== Web Browser =====
-Less desirable, but works well.
+The browser works well, but you might want to read about
+[[  techstaff:vdesk:browser_client | browser caveats and frustrations. ]]
+To get started using the browser, click and bookmark **[[ https://vdesk.cs.uchicago.edu | vDesk Login Link]]**. ((Need a CS Account? [[https://account-request.cs.uchicago.edu/account/requests | Request CS Account]]))
