Any remote desktop protocol that can be used within a local network (e.g. RDP, VNC, X11) can be tunnelled via SSH. Alternately, you can use a VPN to allow access from outside your local network. > I have become a big fan of lubuntu in the last year.

Another benefit is that remote desktop exists for almost any client. SSH is certainly more common and given that server management and development requires little more than a text interface, it should suffice and be a heck of a lot faster. > As you are probably aware ubuntu 13+ breaks xrdp+lubuntu.

I use xrdp at work where we use Kubuntu and a LogMeIn Hamachi for a VPN. I have no problems with xrdp 0.6.0-1 and 14.04. I will say, though, that xrdp as implemented by Ubuntu is a little funky. There's a way to get a working updated package: http://scarygliders.net/2013/07/25/x11rdp-o-matic-version-3-now-released/ Good luck. wxl -- Lubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
