remote desktop... control linux form windows?


Recommended Posts

alright, i've installed fc8 last week and ive been using it a lot over the week. this is not the first time ive tried linux, and i always go back. this time, however, im enjoying it and i honestly think it can become the primary os on my computer.

i need a remote desktop like solution for linux... since my dad and bro run windows, i often use my computer from their computers... from windows it was easy (remote desktop) is there a way i can see the linux screen and control the linux machine form windows xp?

i dont much about vnc, some suggestions would be valuable.

thanks.

You could use VNC, it's just like Remote Desktop in a lot of ways. You'd need to be running the VNC server on the Linux computer and have a Windows (Win32) VNC client stored either on your other computers or on a USB Memory Stick, from there you would connect to the Linux box like you would using Remote Desktop in Windows, only you'd be using the VNC Client.

do this "yum install vino" (Wish this was installed by default).

then , go to System > Preferences > Internet and network > Remote Desktop, play with settings, after that, from Windows PC , you should be able to connect to Linux desktop easily :)

BTW Fedora 8 is rocking here too.

    • This is an example of why it is so difficult to have a conversation with conservatives - they refuse to operate in good faith. You say "Those are not rights. Those were special treatments that were taken away that non-trans whatever didn't get." Which means you either failed to read any of the links I provided or you are lying. The very first link is about how the U.S. Military is firing trans people out of the military because they are trans and denying them retirement benefits. What other groups does the military treat this way that would support your assertion that they had been treated as special previously? Does the miliary routinely fire large numbers of its members and deny them retirement and was heretofore not doing that to trans people? I fail to see the logic in your argument.
    • Dell's Tower Plus Windows 11 desktop brings good all round performance at a big discount by Paul Hill Are you looking for a powerful tower desktop PC? If so, Dell’s Tower Plus EBT2250 is available for $1,099.99 right now, discounted down 25% from its typical price of $1,460.64, making it its lowest price in 30 days, and indeed, of all time (purchase link towards the bottom of the article). It’s powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 265 processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 GPU. It also features an NPU which achieves 13 TOPs, but it is not a Copilot+ PC which demand 40 TOPs. Nonetheless, Dell also claimed a 26% performance boost in multi-core applications compared to the previous generation XPS Desktop. It also comes with a 1TB NVMe SSD for speedy boots and app launches and there is 1x 16GB DDR5-5200 RAM which should help to cut through all of your tasks, though, it may not be enough for very demanding tasks. Dell has made this tower PC with upgrades in mind with available memory, storage, and expansion slots. It also features a new thermal design with 120mm fan, and the company claims this makes it up to 22% quieter while maintaining cooling performance. Here's more about the expansion options: The system supports dual 4K monitors through an HDMI 2.0 port and a Thunderbolt 4 Type-C port. It also has a built-in media card reader for quick import of RAW images. Another nice feature with this tower is that it’s equipped with Wi-Fi 7, which promises “4.8x faster throughput, lower latency and greater capacity” for seamless online experiences. This Dell comes with Windows 11 Home and 6-months of Dell Migrate to help users move files and settings to their new computer. If you are interested in this deal, check out the buying link below.

    • The first stars in the universe may have been much smaller than we thought, new research hints — possibly explaining why it's so hard to find evidence they ever existed. According to the new research, the earliest generation of stars had a difficult history. These stars came to be in a violent environment: inside a huge gas cloud whipping with supersonic-speed turbulence at velocities five times the speed of sound (as measured in Earth's atmosphere). A simulation underpinning the new research also showed gases clustering into lumps and bumps that appeared to herald a coming starbirth. The cloud broke apart, creating pieces from which clusters of stars seemed poised to emerge. One gas cloud eventually settled into the right conditions to form a star eight times the mass of our sun — much smaller than the 100-solar-mass behemoths researchers previously imagined in our early universe. "With the presence of supersonic turbulence, the cloud becomes fragmented into multiple smaller clumps, leading to the formation of several less massive stars instead," principal researcher Ke-Jung Chen, a research fellow at the Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics in Taiwan https://www.livescience.com/space/astronomy/scientists-may-finally-know-why-the-first-stars-in-the-universe-left-no-trace
