Hi,
...
I'm just curious about Rdesktop thing - can I have server on Linux and client on windows ? Which apps ?
Nope Server is on Windows, and to the best of my knowledge not open source.
So it does not help those who need "peer-to-peer" desktop sharing. The Linux user can only connect to a Windows Terminal Server, which I believe runs only on the Server variants of Windows 2000 and XP, right?
So in my case, the need to share a desktop with a remote coworker who has a basic Windows XP (Pro, I think) installation, VNC is still the only option open to us, right?
Xp Pro has Remote Desktop. XP Pro and Home have a remote assistence function to allow someone share thier desktop. I use RDP on to take controll of windows machines (where available), I use VNC to "share" desktop. But I guess that's my personal preference. To share or controll a linux remote then vnc and remote X-Windows are your only choice. Here I use both. For example: I usually watch the log files of my server via remote-X, while I do my emailing via vnc with evolution. (Evolution don't do to well with remote-X and the huge folders I got.) I find that the people I help out with (sharing), have it easier if I place an Icon on thier destop called "Send Screen To Jerry", which they can double click. This is much easier than going through the Remote Assistance dialog! Jerry
That's too bad.
Client on linux, so you can RDP to windows...
