I never used it, but from what I read, it can be used as a RDP server like you would a Windows machine. Otherwise, you could also setup a VNC server and install a VNC client on your Windows PC. -- Julien OpenPGP_signature Description: OpenPGP digital signature
[gentoo-user] Easiest remote desktop for Windows client?
What's the easiest way to get a remote desktop working for a Gentoo server with a Windows 10 client machine? A lot of sources recommend xrdb since Windows comes with a native RDP client. But there is no ebuild for xrdb in portage -- though I found one in an overlay. VNC would probably be OK, but I'd need to install a VNC client on the Windows end, and that may be problematic. Does it matter that I don't run a "desktop environment"? I have a pretty minimalistic setup using the openbox WM and a couple tint2 panels. -- Grant
