Welcome to the Multiframe project

Multiframe is a system for managing thin clients, and using old PCs as thin clients, allowing easy administration from a simple web interface.

Multiframe is now free software and licensed under GPL v3.

We want your involvement. If you have feature requests, bug-reports or ideas, don't hesitate to contact us! mailto:multiframe-project@redpill-linpro.com

Key features

  • Supports the following terminal server protocols:
    • RDP
    • NX
    • X11
    • 3270 / 5250
    • ICA (client package from Citrix must be installed by administrator and is not included)
  • Deploys a small, specially tailored Linux-based distribution to the clients.
  • Installation to disk or run from memory (does not touch existing OS).

  • Offers both compressed and non-compressed software images.
