I'm playing around with the remote desktop thingy and I was wondering how I can connect to my house if I didn't set this up already at home? Is there a command I can do via ssh?
Yes, assuming kde is running at home. create a file /home/tom/.kde/share/config/krfbrc with the contents allowDesktopControl=true allowUninvited=true confirmUninvitedConnection=false disableBackground=false disableXShm=false enableSLP=true preferredPort=-1 [invitations] invitation_num=0 then as user tom, run dcop kded kinetd setEnabled krfb true in your router you then need to forward port 5900 to your desktop machine. Note that this will allow you to log in without a password, so you probably want to be restrictive about which IP addresses you allow in. You can also enable remote logins on your machine at work with a password and then copy krfbrc from your work machine to your home machine. That will get you the encrypted password in the config file You can then log in using either kde's remote desktop client or vncviewer
Also, is this the same thing as vnc?
at the moment, KDE's remote desktop is VNC. There is work going on to use nomachine's NX technology which looks pretty cool
