How to remote Windows XP / Vista / Server 2003 on Fedora

October 11, 2009 · Posted in Fedora 

Recently, i start using Fedora 11 at home. But i need to remote Windows XP and Server 2003 for do the server maintenance at home. But Fedora 11 does not come with any remote desktop software. I try to google and found one of the remote desktop software called rdesktop.

How to install rdesktop

Ubuntu

[root@techkaki] # apt-get install rdesktop

Fedora

[root@techkaki] # yum install rdesktop

To connect to MS Windows 2000/2003 server from Linux, type the following command at a shell prompt

[root@techkaki] $ rdesktop server1.techkaki.com

or

[root@techkaki] $ rdesktop 192.168.1.2

Note: if want to learn more about rdesktop command, type the following command to learn it

 [root@techkaki] $ man redesktop

:-)
