SSH Connection from SUSE (client) to Windows (Server).

It all seems to be the opposite out there.

i believe there is an ssh daemon for Windows which ships with Cygwin. That said, once you're logged in you can't do much because you can't "project" the windows apps across that ssh connection to your linux client, and there's little one can actually accomplish over the windows command line. There are at least two pretty simple solutions: a) rdesktop client for linux. Works well, but i can't get it to connect to all machines (not sure why). http://www.rdesktop.org/ b) VNC, e.g. http://vnc-tight.sourceforge.net/ VNC has been around forever and is rock-solid. If you run it in fullscreen mode (with the -fullscreen option) then you can control the remote Win box as if you were in front of it (e.g., alt-tab works as desired). i've been running it for 3 days straight on this PC because working on this keyboard is more comfortable than working directly on the Windows PC (which is a laptop with a non-ergo keyboard). There are some minor window refresh annoyances (e.g., scrolling with the mouse wheel might not update the screen properly), but it's still very usable. -- ----- stephan@s11n.net http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W.

You'd need a SSH server on Windows, plus whatever viewer you're using.

Hi Erik,

One reason is that it is written in Python (which, looking at the wall clock time of a regex program, is even slower than Perl). Now, developers and irc people have - more or less - admitted it may "take some time" when doing a full system upgrade (10.0->10.1). Oh well more than 30 minutes for dependency resolution on a 933MHz box is not feasible - the so much praised 'smartness' of smart to figure out "The Right Thing" better than apt really pays.

Yet if I was to wget the same package from the same location from the same machine at the same time I'll get several hundred + KB/s.

As for your download speed problem, I do not think it is related to smart being written in Python since downloading is not that CPU intensive.

I can understand the dependancy resolution taking a while although that's not a problem it's purely the speed in which it downloads packages or the catalogues.

I don't think it has anything to do with Smart or Yast but the dam mirrors/servers you are being directed to when you download anything. With some you are better watching paint dry than watching the downloads (paint can dry quicker). -- Regards, Graham Smith
