The Linux Remote Desktop Pilot Program

A 5-user pilot of Proxmox-hosted Linux desktops accessed through Guacamole — a low-commitment way to prove the model before committing to a full rollout.

This is a scoped-down version of our full Linux desktop rollout, built for 5 users so you can prove the model works before committing budget to a larger deployment. You get Proxmox-hosted Linux desktops — Ubuntu, Mint or Fedora with KDE or XFCE — accessed through Guacamole, with a standard application stack (browser, office suite, communication and development tools as needed), centralized authentication, and profile persistence so each user's settings and files survive between sessions. Success is defined concretely: five staff members working productively on their Linux desktop for a full month, without gaps in their standard toolset. The setup hours quoted here are a one-time build cost; hosting the desktops afterward is a separate, recurring monthly cost. Pilots have a tendency to grow scope mid-build as more requirements surface — additional users or production-grade requirements get rolled into a quote for the full rollout rather than absorbed into the pilot price.

What's included

  • Proxmox-hosted Linux desktops (Ubuntu, Mint or Fedora with KDE or XFCE) for 5 users
  • Guacamole-based browser access to each desktop
  • Standard application stack: browser, office suite, communication and development tools as needed
  • Centralized authentication via Authentik or your existing LDAP/SSO
  • Profile persistence so user settings and files survive between sessions
  • A defined one-month success window to validate the model before scaling

How it works

  1. 1

    Book it — pay the fixed price, tell us your target environment

  2. 2

    We deliver — an experienced specialist runs our standard workflow for this exact task; you can watch progress and ask questions

  3. 3

    Hand-off — you get the deliverables, documentation, and a walkthrough if you want one

FAQ

How fast is delivery?
Standard delivery is within 190 weekday hours (≈ 12 working days). Express delivery — within 114 weekday hours (≈ 8 working days) — costs 25% more.
Is this a one-off cost?
The setup hours quoted here are a one-time build. Ongoing hosting is a separate, recurring cost sized to your infrastructure and user count.
What counts as a successful pilot?
Five staff members working productively on their Linux desktop for a full month, with no blocking gaps in their standard application stack.
What happens if we want to add users mid-pilot?
That is scope growth beyond the pilot definition. We quote it as the start of The Linux Remote Desktop Rollout rather than expanding the pilot in place.
