-====== 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 ===== ===== 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 the **[[ https://vdesk.cs.uchicago.edu | vDesk Login Link]]**. ((Need a CS Account? [[https://account-request.cs.uchicago.edu/account/requests | Request CS Account]]))
