Remote desktop on Linux
Hi Again
Has anyone come across how to use remote desktop agent to communicate from windows to a linux system, like you would communicate from a windows system to a windows server using something like Dameware NT Utils? I am trying to see if you can log on to a linux system from windows using a remote agent, cause i managed to get linux rdesktop to log onto a windows system. Thanks |
I think VNC would work for you:
http://www.realvnc.com/ if you just want, however, to administrate a Linux box from a Windows machine (via command-line/telnet/ssh), putty is a good program: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~s.../download.html Regards! |
Do we have any any package that works as a Terminal Server/Client on Linux similar to that in Windows XP?
|
Ok
yes i do use a program to logon to linux shell command, but is their away to log on using and gui interface. Like you would logon on to a terminal server from a windows system. Thanks |
You can install cygwin onto the Windows machine, and run a remote X11 session
|
I would recommend FreeNX. Blows VNC out of the water in the speed department. Also cygwin/X11.
--- An article on FreeNx: http://www.enterprisenetworkingplane...le.php/3508951 And another article (Fedora-centric): http://fedoranews.org/contributors/rick_stout/freenx/ Free client (for Windows, Linux, Mac, etc.) http://www.nomachine.com/ FreeNX project: http://developer.berlios.de/projects/freenx/ The FreeNX server is probably available for you distro in rpm's, deb's, etc. |
On Windows, there are a lot of tools. Exceed for one. However, they can be pricy.
Free tools like cygwin, VNC, ICA stuff, maybe even VMWare (haven't used it myself). |

http://www.ltsp.org/ LTSP is an add-on package for Linux that allows you to connect lots of low-powered thin client terminals to a Linux server. Applications typically run on the server, and accept input and display their output on the thin client display. If you want a Client that runs on Linux and will connedct to XP, or Win terminal services check rdesktop http://www.rdesktop.org/ |
