hey stupid, SSH is a lot faster then any RDP software and yeah, I'm sure you're still using TELNET.

and its free , why pay symand!ck $ for thier crap?

and their is an RDP client for linux, Red Hat includes it, you can do a RH install and RD into an XP box or MS server

Remote desktop is great.
I used to use VNC for on my NT4 servers, but have finally upgraded all my servers to 2k and no longer use VNC.

Which OS did you copy the code for RDP from?

Cause Unix has only had remote graphical logins for about 19659813695432954197 years or so now?

Remote Administrator > VNC > Symantec PC Anywhere

As for RD, well it's built-in, so why shouldn't it be better. This is a case where expectations are met, not exceeded.

I thought Win2k servers don't come with VNC

If you meant WIN2k doesn't come with RD client, you're right... I had to install the RD client separately after finding it on MS' site.

They don't. He is talking about RD that comes with 2k.

when you connect with RAdmin, the screen doesn't get locked. Good if you want to show the user something.

hmmm, i haven't done it in a while but i thought remote admin gave you that option also.

I'll have a vote on VNC. It's very easy to use, and it's free.

Citrix Metaframe is teh r0x0rs! Of course, licensing is a pain in the neck cause you're hit from both Citrix and Terminal Services, but it's my choice since I use it for remote administration.
