And I thought that especially in the Unix world exist the paradigm that everything is a file. My idea was that these services can be represented as a special file in the network folder with an own mime-type like application/x-vnc . And the programs tsclient or gnome-rdp are registered for this mime-type. That would be more Zen ;-) It can't be more simple than open the network folder and click on the computer XY to open a vnc session. > But we don't have that. Ideas?
