DSL is great! It spreads like a virus!I am missing just one little thing: rdesktop 1.3 from <a href="http://www.rdesktop.org" target="_blank">http://www.rdesktop.org</a> Version 1.3 supports sound and full color, which you'll need for Windows XP and 2003. Posted by ImNotHere on Oct. 31 2003,21:27
er.. the link is broken, what exactly is rdesktop?

rdesktop 1.2 is on the CD. It is used to connect to Win Terminal Server or Citrix server. Kinda like our remote X server ability in Linux. Maybe 1.3 needs more libraries?

I know version 1.2 is on the cd, that's why I am suggesting version 1.3.Version 1.3 supports RDP5, the main difference is full color support and audio support. You are also able to connect to the console of a Win2k3 server. These are a huge improvements for a lot of people. Roberts, a RDP client cannot be used to connect to a Citrix server. Citrix is using the ICA protocol instead of RDP. I think it's hardly comparable with remote X server. RDP and ICA are consuming much less bandwidth (about 10kb) and are encrypted by default. You could compare it to NX from <a href="www.nomachine.com" target="_blank">www.nomachine.com</a> rdesktop needs the following libraries: libc6 (>= 2.3.2-1) libssl0.9.7 SSL shared libraries xlibs (>> 4.1.0) |
