Welcome to the list.


Saw the bit about using xrdp.

I used to administer UNIX systems (Solaris and DEC Alphas) always used 
to use Xnest for remote connections to Linux (and other UNIX) systems.


e.g.

Xnest -query otherhost :1&



I've used Xephyr, which is a similar beast.

Hi Brian,

I never looked beyond using VNC for remote GUI access to *nix.  Runs
nicely over ssh
and (with Vino) can be used on the console or otherwise with a Xvnc
server as
a separate desktop.
