debian

So been playing around for sometime now, and now officially running my own virtual machines. Not using any of the interfaces available and still having a lot of fun to be honest. I recently encountered the Citrix XenCenter in production and am convinced it is the right move to use commandline only, though it is not for the windows administrators ;) [atleast the ones who do not know what is the powershell]....

I know it would be simple for a lot of people reading this blog :). But the easiest way to remote desktop into a windows machine using a X based linux distro is to install rdesktop. http://www.rdesktop.org For ubuntu and debian based distro, fire up the console and type sudo apt-get install rdesktop This would install the client. rdesktop <server IP/domain> This would fire up the windows remote desktop stuff.
