i`m sure almost everone has heard/used remote desktop in windows. to do so some work or just mess around with it. is there any way of doing this in linux at all and if there is maybe i or someone can make a .dsl for it. i want to use the default one that windows xp gives u. is there a port to linux at all or a third party one, that will connect to windows.
thanks
ryan

sounds like you want vnc server, for either linux or Windows. it runs on windows as well.. (i use it on several windows/bsd machines)

try www.realvnc.com

there should be a vnc package in myDSL's, im not sure if its just the viewer or also the server (vnc makes its own X server), otherwise, with proper X11 libs and compiler you can probably compile your own. its relatively simple.

you might even try apt. i'm not an apt-expert but you might try to apt-get vncserver or realvnc or something like that..thats how i remotely  manage my machines running X. ;)

rdesktop has been in DSL for a long time. As it is not on the menu it is just not easily found. The minimum required is:

rdesktop  ip_of_server

Then the XP logon screen appears on your DSL desktop.

I believe you need to have XP Pro in order to have the rdesktop feature.
