Yes, sure. Doesn't mean you have to use it, but some people want to be modern and work at the server with a full desktop instead of the ancient console. >:-)
Yes. Such people/ professors exist... I was surprised too. We have got a professor who wants to teach Linux via RDP. He doesn't want to use ssh for that. I spoke with our admin at the university about that. He said that's a requirement by a professor/ Linux user. So we need the graphical desktop and xrdp. I'm thinking about a solution for that ( as a student representative of the AG laboratories) now.
Give them x2go. I hear there has even been a demo involving just a web browser on the client side (but I do not remember where this particular subproject lives).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X2Go X2Go is an open source remote desktop software for Linux that uses the NX technology protocol.[3] X2Go gives remote access to the Linux graphical user interface. It can also be used to access Windows desktops.[4] It provides secure remote sessions via ssh.[5] The server package must be installed on a Linux host; Some Linux desktops require workarounds for compatibility.[6] Client packages can be run on Linux, OS X, or Windows.[7] The X2go project has been packaged for Fedora beginning with version F20 (2013).[8] http://x2go.org/ -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
