I find VNC way too slow and jumpy for extensive work, which is not surprising consider its highly suboptimal bitmap-level operation (tested on 100BaseT, PIII 550MHz on both sides). As for rdesktop, that's neat! I googled for a free RDP client a few month ago, and oddly enough it didn't come up. There is, however, the issue of a Windows-side license [1]. Eran [1] For clarifications about that, go no further than the Windows 2000 Terminal Services Licensing FAQ: http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/server/howtobuy/pricing/tsfaq.asp Please, *do* go ahead! If you can read it (try item 3 for size) without having your ears bleed, consider a professional boxing career. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
