Having recently discovered XRDP, I think this method of remote desktop into a Linux based system is just awesome!
It provides a ‘Microsoft Remote Desktop’ compatible Terminal server, which you can connect using the native Windows RDP Client.
Other options to remotely connect to a Linux Machine include:
- VNC
- X2GO
- NX – FreeNX
- X11 forwarding – though I have never tried this method before
- SPICE
