        <description><![CDATA[This article while looking useful is kind of silly. If you are going to help someone, try giving the simple explanation first, like how to share a desktop. Full stop. Not via the cloud or any other crap. Occam says this is the best way since it is the simplest and the most people just need the simplest solution, not the hard one. And the simple solution has a different explanation otherwise you wouldn't be trying to sound so tech savvy and showing most people what they don't need to know (since most wouldn't need to connect like this). So next time, instead of stroking your ego, try showing the simple way first and then the hard way if you want.I'm going to look elsewhere for the simple solution since that is what I need. I had to post this because I am sick of people trying to show how smart they are by, &quot;OK, let's show you the hard way because it's interesting (and I'm really smart),&quot; If you are really trying to help people, people who don't know the answer, they need to know the simple way first before they start running. Thomson's Rule for First-Time Telescope Makers: &quot;It is faster to make a four-inch mirror then a six-inch mirror than to make a six-inch mirror.&quot;  And if you can't figure out how this is relevant, then you should not be trying to help people. But I think you will understand this, and hope you modify your articles.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The article seems more about how to connect a Linux client to a Virtual Linux Server on Windows 7 using RDP rather than connecting to Windows 7 from Linux clients.   More specifically using Network (Netbios, Samba, NFS) etc.  On my network maintaining a connection between Linux clients and Win 7 shared folders is sporadic at best.  Usually, Win 7 is unreachable.   Because I've seen other complaints with the same issue I can say its not unique to my home network.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[VNC is great once setup safely but I'd recommend UltraVNC with an AES encryptiong plugin for the network traffic. The naked VNC protocol isn't very safe. The encryption plugins included by default don't use weaker encryption than AES.I'm not sure if RealVNC has encryption but since you've got that already, you may want to look for connection plugins to do AES at minimum before looking at UltraVNC.ah.. there it is.. if your curious, the plugin is SecureVNC.SecureVNCPlugin64AES.dsmSecureVNCPluginAES.dsmwas at version 1.0.1.0 and I couldn't get anything usable with wireshark with it enabled.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[She won't touch much else but her macbook at home (nice break from Windows at work i guess). The Iphone braught her the closest to becoming a gadget geek though so I can only complain so much. I'd also not have osX here to play with if not for her machine.Anyhow, I'd say stick with the Ubuntu GUI admin tools while you learn how Samba config works through Webmin or, ideally, command line. If it's a dedicated desktop that also happens to be sharing storage space though, that's another matter rather than a dedicated server.I'm sure we'll see Jack's article turn up though I'm also watching for it. Actually, just tonight *nix desktop sharing came up in a conversation with a friend.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[If your using a pure server role, it may be worth learning to admin it by ssh or look at webmin for a browser UI. Actually, Webmin is how I bridged myself from Windows GUI admin work to now prefering ssh. There are some tasks I still do through webmin though.Also, if your doing admin work, you don't really need to hit an already active user session so VNC server would get you a *nix GUI through VNC client on Windows. Look into setting up encryption for it though (maybe an ssh port to port tunnel just before you start up vnc client).Not that my thoughts should take away from anything you'll learn from the potentially pending how-to.]]></description>

Your perspective approach would be an interesting addition.Now that I'm thinking about it:- how to share an SSH session with a local or other remote login session. (I'm lazy and haven't put ten minutes into looking at Snoopy or TTYSnoop)- how to share a local session desktop with a remote user (Remote Assistance style since RDP style means a seporate user session)Those would be the two cases that have come up in my past. Both have been desired to show a local admin how to do something.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Remote assistance is a seperate component and does not need to be enabled in Windows 7(or other versions of Windows) in order to use Remote desktop.Remote Assistance vs. Remote Desktop Remote Assistance and Remote Desktop are different features of Windows 7 that have entirely different uses. Remote Desktop is based on Microsoft Terminal Services and is a tool for remotely logging on to remote computers. When you use Remote Desktop to connect to a remote computer, a new user session is established. Remote Desktop can also establish sessions with computers that have no interactive sessions running (no users logged on locally), such as headless servers. Remote Assistance, on the other hand, is a tool for interactively helping users troubleshoot problems with their computers. To use Remote Assistance, both the User (also called the Novice) and the Helper must be present on their computers. Unlike Remote Desktop, Remote Assistance does not create a new session. Instead, Remote Assistance allows the Helper to work in the existing session of the User. The User?s desktop gets remoted to the Helper, who can then view the User?s desktop and, with the User?s consent, share control of the desktop. Here is another way to summarize the difference between these two features: In Remote Assistance, both users involved are looking at the same desktop using the same logon credentials (those of the interactively logged-on User) and can share control of that desktop; in Remote Desktop, when the remote person logs on, the interactively logged-on user (if one exists) is logged out.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[On a Win7 viewing a GUI desktop from your Ubuntu box would be a nice followup. The last time I had such a need VNC server would provide a separate X session but not a view of the current user.For the majority of the time, a terminal shell works and when needed, an X GUI app can be forwarded to the local machine. But sometimes one just needs to see the user's desktop.As for going from X to Windows boxes, I keep both my VNC and RDP client apps handy. I've even done RDP and VNC from a Palm T5 to a Windows desktop and currently RDP from maemo4 to Windows machines. It's very handy and something I've very happy to see not limited to a specific platform.]]></description>
