Hi,

I love rdesktop, it is a very great utility of DSL.

I just wonder if there is the possibility to have a server for rdesktop which could work with DSL, such as the remote desktop option which windows xp delivers?

Why? Because I also want to use rdesktop in order to monitor my DSL machine at my office from my DSL machine at home (and to be a little less win dependant).

Thanks a lot for hints!

Not quite an answer to your question: if you have the ssh daemon running on your office box then you can use the ssh command to log in. This will only give command line, but you should be able to start grahical programs if you know the name of the executable.

Thanks for the proposition.
Actually, I'd rather like rdesktop because I often work with graphical programes (and then in the long run with lots of manipulations), but again, thanks for the advice.

Linux has virtual consoles, if you press crtl+alt+F1 you should be dumped into a command line screen. X usually is on virtual screen 7 (crtl+alt+F7), but this may not be the case with DSL. I think it is possible to start another X session on e.g. console 8 - I found the following in a book on Red Hat 7.2:

startx -- :1 vt8

I would think you do this after you have logged in via ssh - I haven't tried it and I don't know if works at all, so I guess you have to experiment.

Get VNC Server from the MyDSL repository and set it up.

Then download VNCViewer for MS Windows and use it to connect to your DSL machine.  It works great.
