Remote login from linux

Hi,

We can view and work windows machine remotely from linux through rdesktop.

This can be done by the command rdesktop.

Remote desktop is commonly available in Windows XP machine. The same concept is available in Mandriva linux 2007.

The command is redesktop .

This is much faster than VNC Viewer.

Download and install the rpm rdesktop-1.5.0-1mdv2007.1 on your linux box to get this command work.

The best RPM Search engine is http://rpm.pbone.net, this will be useful to download the rpm.

Thanks,
Prasanna
