![]() He only mentioned clients, not replacing the server side. ![]() I think his point is that many Linux VNC clients support RDP out of the box (e.g. ![]() What does this get me that 'sudo apt-get install rdesktop' wouldn't? RDP is understood well enough to have FOSS implementations, which should already be in the Rasbian repos, they don't have any terribly strong ties to x86 or anything. What isn't clear to me, though, is why some free-as-in-available-under-restrictive-terms-exclusively-for-people-who-wouldn't-pay-anyway RDP client would be at all interesting. If you want multiple concurrent sessions on a Windows system, it's either RDP or ICA for you. On Linux systems, xnvc can deal with the multiple concurrent users problem(it presents a standard x11 screen and peripherals, unrelated to any physical monitors that may or may not be present, to the VNC client, and you can have multiple xvnc instances running concurrently but that's not a happening thing on Windows). Also, unless you go with a specific vendor's non-standard(and generally non free) implementation, authentication and security are.very retro. Extremely useful, and great for virtual 'over the shoulder' type support but it limits you to 1 user per desktop at any given time. VNC is just straight-dump-of-the-framebuffer-over-network. How is this better than the dozen free VNC clients? Why would businesses pay for it?
