Remote Desktop Fedora 8

[ElwoodBlues]

Hey,

In Windows, you're able to use Remote Desktop Connection to login to another Windows computer. I would like to know how this is possible in Linux. Can anyone refer me to a how-to or tell me how in here? I'm not sure of software I need to have installed. I have VNC installed currently, but that's for remote connections going out... right? Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Brandon

p.s. I know a DMZ needs to be setup on the router, and it is. I'm just not sure what I need on the software side for Linux

p.p.s. I would also like to know how to manage a Linux box from Windows. Can VNC on Linux and Windows do this? Thanks again.

you can manage a windows computer VIA linux using either rdesktop (yum install rdesktop) or vncviewer. (for vnc you must have vncserver running on windows box.

To login to a linux box, remotely, you can setup vncserver on ur linux box as well, run it as daemon..... then u can vnc into it...

Can you elaborate more on 'run it as daemon' for vncviewer? Not exactly sure what you mean by that. Rdesktop is pretty self explanatory. Thanks a lot.

Regards,

Brandon

i tried rdesktop but couldn't quite get it. VNC works great though! I have my little netbook controlling all my windows machines. just yum install vnc and then install vncserver on the windows machine, then just type vncviewer in terminal

rdesktop is only to connect to Windows, not Linux. Use VNC or NX to Linux.
