Hi,
A friend of mine needs to connect to MS Terminal server through his linux machines.
There seems to be 3 options:
- rdesktop - it runs, but only 8 bit colors and it's pretty slow (on 10MBit
LAN)
What rdesktop version did you try? I'm currently running rdesktop-1.1.0-pl19-8-5, and I don't notice a difference between that and the Microsoft client. The patch level releases aren't exactly 'prominently' displayed for download..
I also use it to connect over the Internet to a remote TS, on a 128k line. So it shouldn't be a bandwidth issue...
- WinConnect for Linux - costs a fortune - $79.
- MS RDP client through wine - it runs up to the point where you actually
connect, and then it dies..
I would like this, my current patch level of rdesktop doesn't allow cut/paste between local and remote. Maybe a newer version does?
Regarding option 3 - anyone managed to make it run somehow? any tips would be welcome...
Not yet :(
Rick
Thanks, Hetz
