Question Linux host for RDC ?


Is there such a thing as a Linux RDC host, so I can connect to a Linux box using the Remote Desktop Connection client built in Windows XP.

I've done some research and came across Rdesktop, which does the opposite of what I trying to do. And I've read up on RDC protocols, which seems to have been fairly well reverse engineered and documented. So I can't see why there wouldn't be Linux host for RDC.

Please don't suggest VNC, it's slow and ugly to use, and I want to be able to access the Linux box from any WinXP computer, without the need to install client software, which may not always be possible.

Any help would be gratefully received.

If you have problems with VNC, you can post here on the forum. VNC viewers come in a ready-to-run executable file, and you can also access VNC through the web-based client on port 5800+<display #>. A new technology that is much faster than VNC and has other stuff is NX (look for FreeNX).
