remote desktop program for windows->linux

[mackey333]

Can anyone recomend a good remote desktop program so I can use my windows xp machine to control my server? I can go through the NIC card or I can also use a serial cable. -Greg :-Q

VNC

Or just use a remote console (via ssh to be secure).

Check out "putty" for a very good one.

They don't get any better than this.

vnc.

runs on both windows and linux.

Or TerraTerm Pro with ssh extensions.
There really is so much to choose from.

VNC sucks but is free.

The coolest/nerdiest way is to put a serial cable in the Linux computer and run a terminal emulator on your windows box

use putty on your windows box to ssh to your linux box. Free and easy.

I have a question to add to this...

What if I want to use an actual hand held device (PDA, remote, etc) only to display and interact with a GUI running from my Linux server? I want to be able to interact with that GUI using a touch pad of some sort.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
