What would you like to do on the remote desktop? Support the dude(tte) on the other end? Try TeamViewer<http://www.teamviewer.com/download/index.aspx?os=linux>for Linux!

I highly recommend NX Client for remote desktop in Linux. It uses SSH so is much more secure than VNC and the standard Linux remote desktop. http://www.nomachine.com/download.php On 6 May 2010 09:26, Job Muriuki <muriukin@gmail.com> wrote:
