I cant see 'Remote Desktop' option in the menus of Fedora9. Where can i get it and how?

Rdesktop is most likely the utility you are looking for. It is available from http://www.rdesktop.org/ in tar format. A binary version might be available in Fedora's packages. Try:

Code:

# yum search rdesktop

I have VNC on my Server. To access clients machine there should be "Remote Desktop" option int the Preferences menu. When we share it, only then we can access the desktop. But i didnot find that option in Fedora9. I installed Fedora9 Desktop through Live CD in to clients Hard Disk. Now how can i access that Desktop remotely.

If you install VNC server by doing a yum install vnc on the clients machine it also installs the VNC client. ORRRRR you can do a yum install tsclient That installs a client that works for rdp as well as vnc. I like the VNC client better though. Hope that helps
