Hi Chris

Normally you don't need to push the client, it can usually be installed 
directly from a CD or from a file-image, at least this have been possible on 
all the unix/linux machines I have worked with.

The license is another issue, but you should just need a unix client license 
and not a server license 

Regards
Michael
